Milk Soaked Semolina Cake (Turkish Revani Recipe)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Add the milk and sugar for the syrup to a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil, then set it aside to cool completely.
2. Add the eggs, sugar, milk, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl and whisk until evenly combined.
3. Add the semolina, flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix until you have a smooth, evenly combined batter with no dry pockets remaining.
4. Lightly grease a baking dish, then pour in the batter and spread it into an even layer.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is set and evenly golden on top.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and, while it is still hot, slowly pour the completely cooled milk syrup over the surface so it can absorb evenly.
7. Let the cake absorb the milk syrup, then refrigerate it for a few hours until completely chilled and the texture becomes soft and moist.
8. Cut the chilled cake into squares and serve cold. Garnish with crushed pistachios or another topping if desired.
