Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup fine semolina
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs (separated)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon (zested)
1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
For the Syrup:
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 (3-inch) strips orange zest

Optional Toppings:
Powdered sugar
Ground cinnamon
1/2 cup blanched and lightly toasted chopped almonds

  • Mix the flour, semolina, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer , cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the egg yolks one by one. Continue mixing until the batter turns light yellow. Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest .
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 batches alternating with the milk.
  • Clean the beaters well and beat the egg whites in a separate bowl with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Don't mix too much, or you will "flatten" your egg whites.
  • Pour the batter into the pan, level with a spatula, and bake for 45 minutes or until the cake is a nice golden color.
  • Add the water, sugar, and orange zest to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and cool.
  • While the cake is still warm, cover it with the syrup. When the cake cools, you can sprinkle with some powdered sugar , cinnamon, and almonds, if using.

REVANI (GREEK CAKE USING SEMOLINA)



Revani (Greek Cake using Semolina) image

This is a lovely greek cake using semolina. The texture is coarser due to the semolina than what you're probably used to, but it is delicious and toothsome. Soaked in a light syrup and served with some whipped cream on the side, it is a dessert worthy of any occasion.

  • In most recipes for Greek coconut cake, the eggs are added whole in the mixture, but with this recipe the egg whites are beaten into meringues. This is the secret to a more fluffy ravani cake and to avoid the egg-y smell, which can ruin the flavour of your cake.
  • To prepare the Greek coconut cake, start by mixing the butter and sugar (at high speed), until fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, allowing each one to be absorbed, whilst mixing. Set the mixture aside.
  • Place the egg whites and a pinch of sugar in a clean mixing bowl. Make sure your egg whites, bowl and whisk attachment/s are free of any water. Use an electric mixer or electric hand beaters to whisk the egg whites until the mixture is very thick and glossy, and a long trailing peak forms when the whisk is lifted (meringues).
