Why You’ll Love Revani Cake
This cake gets its moistness from a generous dose of orange-scented simple syrup, which is poured over the cake while its hot from the oven, and gets absorbed into all the crumbs. Your kitchen will smell like heaven 🙏. A mixture of semolina wheat flour and all-purpose flour give this cake a unique crumbly, spongey, cornbread-like texture. This dish has just the right amount of sweetness that it can be enjoyed for dessert, breakfast, or an afternoon pick-me-up.
How to Prepare Revani Cake
🔥 Preheat the oven to 345F. 🍯 Make the simple syrup: In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the water, orange juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Let cool. 🥚 In a large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar, and using an electric hand mixer, mix until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. 💪 Then add the oil, yogurt, semolina, flour, vanilla, baking powder, and orange zest. Gently combine all the ingredients just until there are no more streaks of flour. 👩🍳 Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking pan and pour in the batter. Top with thin slices of oranges, if using. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 🎂 Remove the cake from the oven, and while it is still hot, pour the cooled syrup all over. Let the cake rest and absorb all the syrup for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
