Semolina is just another staple ingredient in Turkish desserts. We use it in sweets like sekerpare, semolina halva and tulumba dessert.
And revani is one of these sweets with semolina. If you love syrup soaked desserts like world-wide famous kunafa or walnut baklava, you should give this cake a try. It is waaaay easier to make!
What takes this cake to a whole new level is the addition of the sugar syrup. It adds a ton of delicious sweet lemon flavor and changes the texture from dry and dense, to soft and juicy. This recipe is a must-try – you won’t regret it!
