How to Make Revani Greek Semolina Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, orange juice, eggs, and orange zest.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Add the 1/2 cup of water and mix until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the simple syrup: Combine sugar, water, orange juice, and cinnamon stick (if using) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  8. Remove the cinnamon stick (if using).
  9. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, generously drizzle the warm simple syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect moist texture.
  11. Serve and enjoy your delicious Revani!
