Semolina Cake Semolina Cake
I came across this recipe on the internet when I was looking for semolina cake recipe. In my first attempt I followed the recipe step by step, but unfortunately the cake turned out very dry. So, I made orange syrup and poured it on top, I thought the syrup would make the cake moist. The cake was nice and moist with orange syrup, but it had to be eaten as quick as possible, because it turned bad the next day.So, in this recipe I have made some adjustments where I reduced the amount of flour and sugar in it and added extra almond powder. I used orange juice instead of milk and added orange zest. The cake turned out very nice, moist with slightly orange flavored. Wiwik Sunariyah -
Ravani (Semolina Cake with Cinnamon Syrup) Ravani (Semolina Cake with Cinnamon Syrup)
Hello everyone!!! Ravani/Revani, depending on which part of Greece you come from…..I personally think is a version of the Sponge Cake with a unique twist of the added syrup. I have always made this cake and have tweaked it in my own little way, by adding Walnuts in the mixture and not only on top. It gives the Lemon Zest (which to be honest I prefer using than the Orange Zest) taste of the cake a nice twist. 🙂Ok, well this was the only cake that I personally never looked at with a strange face…like I did when they offered me the Fruit Spoon Dessert. 🙂 Foodzesty -
