How to make
For this cake that we found in the old cookbooks, start with the syrup, pour the water into a pot and add the sugar and the peel of 1 lemon, put it on the stove and boil it for 5 minutes after it starts boiling boiling.
Allow it to cool completely in a cool place.
Separate the yolks from the whites. Add the lemon juice to the egg whites and beat them with a mixer until they're foamy.
Add the sugar and vanilla to the yolks and beat them into a fluffy mixture.
Add the oil in a thin stream to them and mixed in advance sifted flour and baking powder and stir.
Add the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and with a spatula, mix them slowly and carefully until you have a smooth mixture.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased baking pan and sprinkled it with flour, smooth out the mixture and place the pan with your favorite revani in a preheated 360°F (180 degree) oven and bake it for about 25-30 minutes until it's fully baked. Cut the hot cake into pieces and pour the completely cooled syrup over it and leave it to cool.
Serve the homemade revani, chilled with whipped cream or ice cream.
