I was inspired by the famous Greek Ravani cake in making those delicious squares as I have seen many recipes for it lately. The addition of yogurt was really great and the semolina flour gave them a little crispy touch.
Ingredients:
5 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup semolina
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut
syrup
1 1/2 cup superfine sugar.
1 1/2 cup water.
Directions:
1. Heat sugar and water over medium heat till sugar is dissolved, then boil for 3 minutes and let it cool.
2. Preheat oven to375f, position rack in center of oven. Grease a 9 inchx1/2 inch in height pan or heatproof glass dish with ghee or melted butter.
3. Beat eggs, vanilla and sugar until thick and pale in color . Add yogurt and beat until just combined. Sift together the plain flour, baking powder and semolina and fold in two batches over the eggs mixture. Add coconut and fold again. Pour in prepared pan and smooth top. Bake for 35 minutes until springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and pour cold syrup over the top. Let cool completely. Cut into squares. Sift icing sugar over the top.
