  4. Slowly pour in the roasted semolina, mixing well to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, till thick. Add in the butter or possibly margarine while stirring.
  5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is proportionately golden, 1 hour. Sprinkle the top with the poppy seeds. Place under the broiler and broil 2 min. Cold to room temperature, cover and let stand overnight.
  6. Cut into diamonds to serve. The cake will be moist, not fluffy. Chill any leftovers. Reheat to room temperature before serving.
