Rawani (Orange Syrup Cake

Ingredient


10 Eggs
1 3/4 Cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 Cups all-purpose flour
1/3 Cup semolina flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

Sugar Syrup
2 Cups sugar
1 Cup water
1 Cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon orange zest

Garnish
Shredded coconut
Apricot jam
Finely ground pistachios

Method

● Preheat oven to 180˚C (350˚F).
● Grease 27cm (9in) cake pan with butter, dust with some flour, and shake off excess.
● In bowl of electric mixer, beat eggs on medium speed for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla.
● Mix all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and baking powder in large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gradually fold into egg mixture until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
● Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
● Meanwhile, prepare Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve sugar in water. Add cinnamon and orange zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Strain.
● When cake is done, pour syrup over warm cake in pan. Sprinkle generous amount of coconut over syrup-coated cake until completely covered.
● Invert cake onto a serving plate so sprinkled coconut is on bottom. Spread jam evenly on top, then garnish with alternate stripes of coconut and pistachios.
