Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g of sugar
  • 100 g of yogurt
  • 100 ml of orange juice
  • 100 ml of oil
  • 1 orange (grated peel)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
  • 200 g of wheat semolina
  • 150 g of wheat flour
  • 1 bag of baking powder

For syrup:

  • 100 ml of orange juice
  • 100 g of sugar
  • 50 ml of water

For the topping and decoration:

  • a little Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped or ground pistachios

<strong>Preparation: </strong>

Beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer until foamy. Turn off the mixer and add the juice, yogurt, oil, vanilla flavoring, salt and grated orange peel. Mix and then add the semolina, flour and baking powder. Mix well and pour the cake mixture into a 30x20cm pan previously lined with baking paper and put in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. Bake the cake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. Place the orange juice, water, and sugar in a saucepan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes sticky. Prick the cooled cake with a fork and pour the lukewarm syrup over it. Cut the cake into pieces and pour over a little Greek yogurt and sprinkle with a few pistachios.
