Instructions

  1. Prepare a syrup by boiling 150 ml of water and 150 g of sugar, simmering for two minutes and mixing with the lemon juice. Put aside.
  2. Mix the yogurt, sugar and vanilla sugar together well. Mix in half of the melted butter, semolina, almonds and baking powder. Pour this mass about 3 cm high into a greased (preferably rectangular) mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C top / bottom heat for about 30 minutes.
  3. Take the mold out of the oven and spread the syrup evenly over it. Cut the cake into squares or diamonds and put it in the oven for another 3 minutes. Finally, moisten with the remaining butter and let cool down well (preferably overnight).
  4. Note: In the original recipe that I received once, there is twice (!) As much sugar in both the dough and the syrup. I`ve adjusted it to my taste. So you can vary the amount of sugar.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
