Ingredients
For the Revani cake:
- 350 g all-purpose flour sifted
- 250 g butter at room temperature
- 250 g granulated sugar
- 30 g baking powder
- 4 medium eggs
- Juice from 2 oranges
For the syrup:
- 800 g granulated sugar
- 1 liter water
- Juice from 1 orange
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170° C (338° F) Fan.
For the syrup:
- Place a pot over medium heat. Add the water, sugar, and orange juice. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. When ready, set the syrup aside to cool completely.
For the revani cake:
- Put the butter and sugar in a blender bowl and blend for about 1 minute on medium speed using the whisk attachment. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
- While blending, slowly add the egg and orange juice. Blend for 1 minute and then add the flour in batches. Blend until completely combined.
- Grease a 25 x 33 cm (10 x 12 - inch) rectangular baking pan with butter and dust with flour. Add the batter and gently tap on a counter to spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden.
- When ready, remove from oven and poke a few holes in the cake with a straight edged knife. Using a ladle, immediately pour the cooled syrup over the cake.
- Allow the cake to soak up the syrup for about 10 minutes. Then cut into pieces and serve.
