Name: Burmese Semolina Cake
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly, divided, plus more; 1 1/4 cups semolina flour; 1 large egg; 1 14-ounce can coconut milk; 1 1/2 cups half-and-half; 1/3 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; Coconut ice cream (for serving); Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes (for serving)

Semolina flour is ground from durum wheat and is usually used to make pasta; toasting it deepens its flavor, and its fine grain yields a tender, custardy cake.
