Instructions

1 Place the semolina, flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
2 Add the oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla, orange blossom water (if using) and zest (if
using). Whisk until no lumps remain then set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Grease a 20cm/8in round
5cm/2in deep cake tin (preferably loose bottomed) and line with baking
parchment.
4 After the batter has soaked for 30 minutes, sprinkle over the baking powder and
bicarbonate of soda and whisk to combine.
5 Pour the batter into the preapared tin and spread level. Bake for about 35
minutes until the cake is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the
centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
6 While the cake is baking make the syrup (if using). Mix the orange and/or lemon
juice in a jug then measure out 80ml (⅓ cup) and pour it into a small saucepan.
7 Add the sugar and place the pan over a low heat. Stir until the sugar has
dissolved then bring up to a simmer for a minute then remove from the heat.
8 When the cake is done, poke holes all over the top with a skewer and drizzle
over the syrup. Make sure that you cover the cake evenly, don't just pour it all
in the middle. (If you don't have a loose bottomed tin then you may wish to turn
the cake out before adding the syrup otherwise it will be delicate and difficult
to turn out without smooshing the top.)
9 Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, until the syrup has soaked in,
then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
