Ingredients
For the Wet Ingredients:
2 cups Greek yogurt
1 cup of water
¾ cup oil
1 and ½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Dry Ingredients:
2 and ½ cups coarse semolina flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon 1/2 teaspoon ground mastic gum
Garnish:
8-16 blanched almonds or ground pistachios
2 tablespoons butter, melted for greasing pan
For the Syrup:
2 and ½ cups granulated sugar
2 cups of water
Juice of half of a lemon
2 teaspoons rose water (substitute vanilla extract or orange blossom water)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
Grease a 10-inch round baking pan (or a 9 by 13-inch pan) with melted butter.
Combine all of the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Whisk the dry ingredients together and add them to the wet ingredients. Whisk together until incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 1 hour so that the semolina grains soften and absorb the liquid.
Make the Syrup by combining the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water. Set aside to cool.
Scour the cake into pieces and place a blanched almond in the center of each piece.
Bake in the center rack of the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and cut the slices all the way through.
Pour all of the syrup over the cake and set aside at room temperature to allow the cake to absorb it. Wrap the cake pan in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
This step will ensure that the syrup is properly dispersed throughout the cake.
Transfer the cake slices to a serving plate and serve with some ice cream or whipped cream. Lightly sweetened mascarpone cream will also go great with this dessert. Warm up a cup of tea and Enjoy!

Hello Dimitra, This is Helen from Athens. Thanks once again for a great recipe. We were just talking the other day with friends about how we need a recipe for a samali cake. Although the original recipe is strictlly vegan because it's a cake eaten during lent, it'll definitely become my new go to cake for potluck events. Simple and as all your recipies I've tried, foolproof!
Brings back memories from my childhood, thank you for sharing 😋
This was my favorite growing up
Thanks for the recipe. 😋 I like that it’s egg free. And, it’s wonderful that you shared flavor substitutions!!
Greetings from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦
Miss Greek food from Astoria NY!!
that's so sweet of you!!! Growing up in Astoria was wonderful :)
I turned out so delicious. Thank you for sharing your yummy recipe with us. Stay safe and God bless everyone.🙏😋💕🇬🇷🌎
Yes, I remembered my Mom making this too! How I miss her 🩷
The recipe seemed really tasty!
Thank you for sharing.
This recipe looks and sounds so yummy, I can’t wait to make it.😍
Thank you for the recipe, ı cook this cake very often but liked the egg free version. Think hot cake absorbs syrup at room temperature more easily😃
Beautiful! Can pignoli nuts be substituted instead of almonds?
Delicious cake
Thank you sounds delicious ❤
Great as always 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀
Wow. This is one of the coolest cake recipes I've ever seen. It's maybe like a chess pie bar. I really like the semolina ingredient. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍👏👏
Great recipe
We call it basbousa
I love semolina cakes! I have to try this recipe. How do you know if an olive oil is light?
It usually will be less expensive and will not say cold pressed or extra virgin. It's also not as green. Feel free to use any vegetable oil that you like and trust :)
Im afraid i wont be able to find some of these fancy Mediterranean ingredients in my local store!
I like the sound of it but don't have a big sweet tooth, so what would you suggest to adjust the sweetness? Thank you sharing.
This cake is meant to be sweet because of the syrup. It will be dry without it :)
@@DimitrasDishes Okay, thanks
❤️🌹♥️🌹💚
