Ingredients
-
1 spoon Butter, unsalted
-
1 cup Yogurt, plain, from whole milk
-
0.75 cups Sugar, white
-
2 cups Semolina
-
1 teaspoon Baking powder
-
0.3 cups Milk, whole milk
-
0.5 cups Butter, unsalted
Syrup
-
1.5 cups Sugar, white
-
1.75 cups Water
-
1 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground
-
pieces Juice, lemon
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a small pot, slowly melt the butter over low heat.
-
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt and sugar. Add the semolina, baking powder, milk, and melted butter to the mixture.
-
Grease a round baking pan (23 cm in diameter) with butter. Pour the semolina mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The cake is done when the top layer turns a nice golden brown.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. Place a pot with water, sugar, and a cinnamon stick on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until all the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the syrup until it thickens slightly. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, remove the cinnamon stick.
-
Take the baked cake out of the oven. While still hot, pour the flavored syrup over it. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Once cooled, cut it into slices, serve on plates, and accompany with whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
