- 7 tbsp sugar;
- 1 packet (10 g) vanilla sugar;

For the syrup:

Preparation
- In a fairly large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the cake - flour, semolina, both sugars, salt, and baking powder.
- Add milk, yogurt, and eggs, and mix thoroughly.
- The resulting dough should resemble the thickness of sour cream.
- Pour the dough into a mold lined with parchment paper and send it to the oven to bake at 150 degrees for about 40-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare the syrup: in a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, sugar, and water, and simmer over low heat until boiling, then for about 15 more minutes after boiling. Remember to stir the syrup.
- Take the golden brown cake out of the oven.
- Cut it into portions with a knife in a crisscross pattern. Pour the lemon syrup evenly over it and let the cake soak for at least 1 hour.
- You can decorate the top with coconut flakes or ground nuts if desired.
- Revani (Turkish semolina cake) is ready!
It is better to store it in the refrigerator.
