Revani is a delightful Turkish semolina cake, soaked in fragrant syrup, perfect for enjoying with tea or coffee. Its light texture and sweet flavor make it an irresistible snack or dessert.

Ingredients

• semolina - 100 grams
• all-purpose flour - 50 grams
• sugar - 100 grams
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• eggs - 2 large
• plain yogurt - 100 grams
• sunflower oil - 50 milliliters
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• water - 200 milliliters
• lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• sliced almonds - 20 grams (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the yogurt, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup by combining water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot syrup evenly over the cake.
9. Let the cake absorb the syrup for at least 10 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish with sliced almonds before slicing into squares and serving.
