Sweet Semolina Cake (Revani)

Sweet Semolina Cake (Revani)

3-4 eggs
1½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup semolina
½ cup melted margarine/butter
1 tsp/1 package baking powder
1 tsp/1 package vanilla

For the syrup:
2-2 ½ cups sugar
3 cups water
1 tsp lemon juice

coconut flakes for garnish

Place water and sugar into a pot to prepare the syrup. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for about 2-3 minutes and stir in lemon juice. Turn the heat off and let it cool. You will pour the cool syrup over the cooked hot revani cake.
In a bowl, mix eggs and sugar with a mixer till it becomes foamy (3-4 minutes). Then, add margarine/butter and semolina in. Stir continuously while adding flour, baking powder and vanilla.
Grease a 9x13 inch or 12 inch diameter Pyrex dish and pour the cake mixture inside. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and bake till the surface turns light golden brown (for about 35-45 minutes).
Once the cake is ready take it out of the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup all over evenly. Use a spoon or laddle to pour the syrup evenly.

Cut the cake into square pieces and garnish with coconut flakes.
