SEMOLINA-LEMON SYRUP CAKES
Beating the butter and sugar properly gives Yotam Ottolenghi's individual mini almond cakes lift, but they will still be moist and marzipan-y in the center.

Steps:
- Make the cakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk almond flour, semolina flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to combine.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With motor running, gradually add eggs and beat until glossy, about 1 minute. Add dry ingredients and lemon juice and beat to combine, about 1 minute.
- Divide batter among muffin cups and bake until cakes are golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-35 minutes.
- Make the syrup:
- Make the syrup while the cakes are baking. Bring lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- As soon as cakes come out of the oven, brush or spoon syrup liberally over top (you may not need all of it). Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cakes cool completely before turning out.
- Do Ahead
- Cakes can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
LEMON SEMOLINA CAKE
I found this somewhere on the internet and am going to use it for a project in my Latin class. Looks delicious! I'm not sure about the size of the pan or the number of servings. I think I'd use an 8x8 Pyrex dish. I'm still trying to figure out the formatting on submitting recipes :p. This recipe is for a cake and syrup. The ingredients for the syrup begin with the caster sugar.

SEMOLINA CAKE SOAKED WITH LEMON SYRUP (REVANI)
A Greek cake. The cake is served from the pan; use a glass pan so the lemon syrup doesn't react with metal. Nick Malgieri.

Steps:
- Butter and coat with fine dry breadcrumbs a 9 x 9 inch Pyrex pan.
- Set oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350°.
- Whisk eggs and ½ cup sugar by hand in the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Place the bowl on the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; whip the mixture on high speed until pale and thickened, about 4 minutes.
- While the eggs are whipping, stir the semolina and remaining ½ cup sugar together in a medium mixing bowl; stir in the sour cream.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the brandy in a small cup and stir into the semolina mixture; add in the orange zest and butter, stir to combine.
- When the egg mixture is ready, fold it into the semolina batter with a large rubber spatula.
- Scrape the cake batter into the prepared pan; smooth the top.
- Bake cake for about 30 minutes, or until it is well risen and deep golden and a pick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake on a rack for 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cookng, prepare the syrup: stir together all the ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat; let the syrup boil gently for 5 minutes.
- While the syrup is cooling, score the cake into 2 inch diamonds or rectangles with the point of a sharp knife, cutting about 1 inch into the cake.
- After the syrup is cooked, remove the lemon half from the syrup and slowly pour the syrup all over the top of the cake so that it is evenly absorbed.
- Cool completely.
- Serve: cut through the scoring marks completely with a sharp knife; use a flexible spatula to first loosen each piece of cake, then remove it from the pan.
- Only the first piece is difficult and may break slightly, the rest should come out easily.
- Storage: keep the cake pan covered with plastic wrap at a cool room temperature.
