By Rosvitha @RosvithaP

This is easy to make and fast preparing cake for every day. I have got this recipe from a Turkish chef and I decided to bake it with a Turkish spirit. So soft cake soaked in sherbet with lemon gives everybody refreshing taste of citrus fruits along with a sense of originality. If you decide to prepare this cake, stick to the recipe and don’t eat the cake while it’s hot

Ingredients for the cake

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of semolina
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1/2 cup of yogurt
  • 1/2 cup of oil
  • vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar

Method

Divide egg yolks from egg whites. Mix the egg yolks with all the ingredients listed above. Mix the egg whites in another bowl until it becomes firm and then add it into the batter. Easily and slowly stir in the egg whites and put the batter into the baking pan greased with butter. Bake the cake on 375 F degrees for approximately 35 minutes, or until the cake gets nice color. Leave the cake to cool down until you make the sherbet(syrup).

Sherbet (syrup)

2 1/2 cups of water with 3 cups of sugar and a little bit of lemon juice put into the bowl and heat it until it starts boiling. Cook it for 10 minutes and it’s ready for soaking the cake. Cut the lemon slices, arrange them on the cake and pour the sherbet on. Leave the cake to cool down completely and serve it with smile
