Greek Semolina Cake with Syrup (Ravani)

[Updated 26/02/2025]

Ravani is a moist, fragrant Greek cake made with semolina and soaked in a sweet syrup. It’s a classic dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. With a hint of lemon and a delicate texture, this cake is a beloved treat in Greek households (in ours too!). I dare to say that this is one of the best recipes for ravani!

An amazing variation is the coconut ravani.
