Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil and set aside.

Whisk together semolina flour, all-purpose flour, ground turmeric, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup white sugar, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms with no lumps.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Divide the cake into diamond or square shapes by cutting lines with a sharp knife, spacing them about 1½ inches apart. Do not cut all the way through—just score the surface.

Place a pine nut in the center of each diamond or square piece.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and immediately sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of white sugar evenly over the warm surface while still hot.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut along the scored lines and serve warm or at room temperature.
