  1. For the syrup:
    2 cups (440 ml) water
    2 cups (370 g) sugar
    ½ lemon, squeezed (2 lemon wedges for extra flavor)

    For the cake:
    1 cup (160 g) semolina
    ½ cup (65 g) flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    3 eggs
    ½ cup (100 g) sugar
    1 cup (230 g) yogurt
    1 cup (180 ml) olive oil

    How to make it:
    Combine sugar & water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Add lemon juice and wedges, simmer a few more minutes, and let it cool completely.

    Mix semolina, flour & baking powder. In another bowl, whisk eggs & sugar until fluffy, then add yogurt & oil. Now add the dry ingredients and mix everything well. Pour into a greased baking pan.

    Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 min or until golden. Let it sit for 5 min, then slice.

    Pour the cooled syrup over the warm cake and let it soak for about an hour. Garnish with pistachios or coconut, and enjoy!
