Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 15½ oz sugar, divided
- 21¼ oz Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 5¼ oz plain flour
- 3½ oz fine semolina
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the tin
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1¼ cups water, for the syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, for the syrup
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and oil a baking dish of about 7¾ x 11¾ in.
- Stir the baking soda into the yogurt and leave for 5 minutes until it foams.
- Whisk the eggs with 7 oz of the sugar until pale and thick. Whisk in the yogurt mixture, olive oil, vanilla and lemon zest.
- Fold in the flour and semolina until just combined, then pour the batter into the prepared dish and level the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until deep golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- While the cake bakes, make the syrup: dissolve the remaining 8½ oz sugar in the water, add the lemon juice and simmer for 5 minutes. Leave to cool slightly.
- Pour the warm syrup evenly over the hot cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
- Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes so the cake absorbs the syrup, then cut into diamond or square pieces and serve at room temperature.
