Revani Cake (Greek Semolina Cake with Syrup)

You probably haven’t heard of this Greek dessert… so let me let you in on the secret.

Full recipe linked in my bio, ingredients below!

This is Revani — a golden, citrus-kissed semolina cake that’s soaked in a honey syrup and rooted deep in tradition.

Made with @bobsredmill fine semolina flour, fresh lemon zest, eggs, sugar, Greek yogurt, and rich olive oil… then drenched to perfection in a fragrant honey syrup.

And once you try it… You’ll realize you weren’t just missing dessert.
