Almond Ravani cake
From ahmed1 17 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 10
One of my favored dessert…In fact there are many ways to make Ravani cakes and I almost tried them all…I will post the rest of them later on…I have to mention that this is of Greek origin.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. butter shopping list
- 5 eggs, room temperature shopping list
- 3/4 c. sugar shopping list
- 1 c. semolina shopping list
- 1 c. flour shopping list
- 2 tbsp. baking powder shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla shopping list
- ¼ cup blanched almonds shopping list
How to make it
- Grease a 26cm cake pan and preheat oven to 350F. Sprinkle almonds over the pan.
- Mix butter and sugar well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Add vanilla. Add semolina gradually and continue to mix. Sift dry ingredients and beat. Bake for 40 minutes.
- SYRUP:
- 2 c. sugar
- 2 c. water
- Dissolve sugar in water over medium heat and boil for 6-7 minutes. Cool slightly and pour over cake. When cold, flip in the serving dish and cut into diamond shaped pieces or wedges.
- N.B Making the syrup is the most important step in making a good ravani cake…I made my best to take a picture of the right consistency and how you know that the syrup is done….Follow the pictures, use your fingertips and touch a drop of the syrup, open your fingertips again. If you have an uncut trace , then it is done and take it out of heat and let cool…
