You know what they say about best laid plans, right?? I had so many recipes laid out for our Journey to Greece. It was going to be a glorious meal.

Moussaka!
Spanakopita!
Pastitsio!
{All of which we have had before – but in my Pre-Blogging Days!!} Ah, well. At least we got dessert!

Revani
Revani is a Semolina Sponge Cake that is soaked with a Lemon Syrup It is easy to put together and quite citrusy since there is Orange Zest in the cake and Lemon Syrup over the cake. Which makes it very moist! And very lemony! And quite sweet, but not overly sweet. {Especially since I added an extra 1/4 cup or so of lemon juice to the syrup.} The cake’s texture reminded me of cornbread
Did I mention there is also BRANDY in this cake? Ordinarily I don’t have Brandy in the house, but when I helped my Mom move she had these cute little bottles in the cabinet. Fortunately she didn’t know she had want them!!

By the Way, we don’t publish recipes, but you can find Malgieri’s Recipe [from his A Baker’s Tour] – HERE!!

I’m getting ready for breakfast over here, and somehow that cake looks like it would fit the bill perfectly!

That looks like a delicious Greek cake! I’m a big fan of Greek sweets as it is. What a bonus that it is easy to prepare.

Margaret, so glad you are back with your Greek cake, it looks just delicious and I bet I would want two slices 🙂 Thanks for cooking along with MKMW destination Greece, I just got to round-up posted. Hope you will cook along with destination Indonesia! Have a nice rest of the weekend.

This looks good…and sounds good. I have made something similar to this and we all enjoyed it, so maybe I should make this one soon as well. I cooked a lot of Greek food last summer and am hoping to do that again this summer. This is on the list.
