How to Vegan Tasty Revina (semolina cake) Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Revina (semolina cake). Semolina is durum wheat that is more coarsely ground than regular wheat flours. Therefore, semolina can cause the cake to have somewhat of a coarse texture (especially if you don't use fine semolina, which this recipe calls for). But this flavor combination, as well as the citrus syrup, results in a delicious and moist dessert.

The Persian name for the cake, revani, is also used by the Greek culture.

This dessert has been adapted by many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures.
