Fluffy Turkish Cake Revani With Syrup

Turkish cake with syrup “Revani” is a fluffy, light cake made with eggs, semolina, and little flour. It is also well known in middle east countries as “Basboussa”

We really love this traditional Turkish cake dessert and serve it especially on Ramadan and on the dinner menu for our guests. There are many different kinds made with milk or yogurt or with more oil. Some recipe uses only flour some only semolina. I choose this one to share with you because we really like this version. To show you how easy it is to make, my daughter made this dessert for you:)
