Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Mixing bowl
- Saucepan
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 cup semolina
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
For the Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar for syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, sugar, yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the finely chopped walnuts into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Step 6: While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Step 7: Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot cake.
- Step 8: Allow the cake to absorb the syrup and cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Revani with Walnut Filling!
