Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), using both the top and bottom heat if possible.
2

Add the vanilla to the sugar. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar while mixing for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture is creamy.
3

Continue mixing while gradually adding the milk. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
4

Add the semolina, flour, and baking powder. Mix well until the batter is smooth and thick.
5

Lightly grease a baking pan with oil and pour in the batter. You can decorate with almonds before baking, or sprinkle with shredded coconut after baking. Bake for 30 minutes.
6

Meanwhile, prepare the syrup. After removing the pan from the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes. Pour the warm syrup over the warm dessert. Let it soak for 4 to 5 hours, or preferably overnight, covered with a clean cloth.
7

The next day, decorate as desired and serve.
