Revani, Turkish semalino cake with syrup, is surprisingly light and easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup semolina
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

For syrup:

• 4 cups sugar
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Mix together eggs, half a cup sugar, and lemon zest to get a thick mixture. Add the lemon juice and mix couple more times.
2. Add flour, semolina, and baking powder and combine all. Pour the mixture to pre-greased pan. Cook for 25-35 minutes in oven preheated to 350°F.
3. Meanwhile boil the sugar and water to prepare the syrup. Add the lemon juice to the syrup.
4. Transfer the revani to a bigger pan and pour the hot syrup over the revani. Let it sit in the oven until it absorbs the syrup and enlarges 1.5 times. Don’t forget basting the top of the revani.
5. Soğuğunca üzerine hindistan cevizi rendesi serpip servis yapın. Let it cool and serve with coconut flakes.
