Revani with Yoghurt

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Yoghurt is the soul of Revani. It not only provides moisture, but the lactic acid in it reacts with the baking powder, releasing carbon dioxide which lifts and loosens the heavy, semolina dough. The result is a characteristically spongy, elastic texture that is biteable yet melts in the mouth, whilst the acidity counterbalances the sweetness of the syrup.

  • Silicone spatula: For gentle mixing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the syrup (water, sugar, lemon juice) for 10 minutes, then cool completely.

Tip: The syrup is good if it is slightly sticky when dropped between your fingers.
2 ✓

Beat the eggs and sugar into a stiff foam.

Tip: The air bubbles will be the little chambers where the syrup will move in later.
3 ✓

Mix in the yoghurt, oil and lemon zest.

Tip: The oil coats the flour particles, so the cake stays moist.
4 ✓

Fold in the dry ingredients (semolina, flour, baking powder).

Tip: Only mix until the flour just disappears.
5 ✓

Bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The Maillard reaction here gives not only colour but caramel flavour notes to the crust.
6 ✓

Pour the cold syrup evenly over the hot cake.

Tip: The temperature difference aids rapid absorption of the liquid.

Recipe FAQ

What yoghurt should I use?
Thick, Greek-style yoghurt is best. Runny yoghurt can make the dough too liquid.
Why did the middle dome up?
The oven temperature was too high. Bake at a slightly lower temperature, more slowly.
