Ingredients

• 200 g Semolina
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 200 g Sugar
• 100 ml Vegetable oil
• 200 ml Plain yogurt
• 3 Eggs
• 10 g Baking powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 500 ml Water
• 300 g Sugar (for syrup)
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Allow the syrup to cool slightly. Once the cake is out of the oven and still warm, cut it into diamond or square shapes and slowly pour the syrup over the cake, ensuring it is evenly absorbed.

Step 9

Let the cake rest for at least 1-2 hours to fully soak up the syrup before serving. Garnish with grated coconut or chopped nuts if desired.
