Quick answer

What is Revani?
Revani is a semolina cake baked with eggs and then soaked in syrup. It is a familiar dessert in Turkish cooking, with roots often associated with Ottoman cuisine, and related versions are enjoyed around the eastern Mediterranean. Chopped pistachios are a common garnish.
The crumb is soft and porous, with a slight graininess from the semolina and plenty of sweetness from the syrup. In Turkey, revani is served in small diamond or square pieces, often after a meal or alongside tea; Turkish communities abroad enjoy it in much the same way. It is chiefly a carbohydrate-rich treat rather than a substantial source of protein. A smaller piece with unsweetened tea makes a lighter serving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Revani
What is Revani made of?
Revani is a syrup-soaked semolina cake, usually made with eggs, sugar, yogurt, semolina and flour. It is baked until golden, then drenched with sugar syrup; chopped pistachios or other nuts are common toppings.
Where does Revani come from?
Revani is associated with Ottoman cuisine and is now a familiar dessert in Turkey and several neighboring countries. Similar syrup-soaked semolina cakes appear across the eastern Mediterranean, so its precise origin is not firmly settled.
How is Revani different from basbousa?
Revani and basbousa are both syrup-soaked semolina cakes, but their recipes and textures vary by region. Revani commonly uses eggs and yogurt and is baked as a soft cake; basbousa is often denser and may be topped with almonds.
Should Revani be served hot or cold?
Revani is usually served at room temperature or chilled, after the cake has had time to absorb its syrup. It is not normally served straight from the oven; a cool or room-temperature slice lets the crumb hold together.
Why is my Revani dry?
Revani can turn out dry if it is overbaked or if the syrup is too thick or insufficient to soak the cake. Check the cake before it becomes deeply browned, and pour the prepared syrup evenly over it while it is still hot.
Can you make Revani without semolina?
Yes, you can make a semolina-free cake with a similar syrup-soaked style, but it will not have Revani’s characteristic grainy crumb. Replacing semolina with flour changes the texture, so use a recipe designed for that substitution.
What can you serve with Revani?
Revani is often served on its own with tea or Turkish coffee. A small spoonful of thick yogurt or a little unsweetened cream can balance its sweetness, while pistachios add a traditional nutty garnish.
How long does Revani keep?
Revani keeps for several days when covered and stored in a cool place; refrigeration is useful in warm weather. Keep it in a sealed container so the syrup-soaked cake does not dry out or pick up other food odors.
Can you freeze Revani?
Yes, Revani can be frozen in individual portions. Wrap the slices well or place them in an airtight freezer container, then thaw them in the refrigerator. The crumb may be a little less tender after thawing.
How do you cut Revani without it sticking to the knife?
Cut Revani after it has cooled and absorbed the syrup, using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. Scoring the portions before pouring on the syrup also helps keep the traditional diamond or square pieces neat.
