You can also prepare the cold sugar syrup (<em class=\"zhvwWe\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-complete=\"true\">atter<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/em>) up to one week in advance and keep it refrigerated.<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/span><!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/li>\n<li class=\"Z1qcYe\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIGRAC\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"><span class=\"iNqyIf\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-complete=\"true\" aria-owns=\"action-menu-parent-container\"><strong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-complete=\"true\">Why did my semolina cake turn out tough?<!--TgQPHd|||[]--><\/strong><br data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-pl=\"|||[]\" data-complete=\"true\" \/>A tough texture is usually caused by overmixing the batter or using fine semolina.
