This is a delicious Greek Ravani cake (also known as raveni/basbousa etc. in other Middle Eastern variations). It will be made with semolina and regular flour; it will have no nuts or coconut but will have butter. It is a light cake that is soaked in sugar-honey syrup after cooling. It can be made with a flavoring such as lemon, orange, rose water, clove, thyme, chamomile, etc in the cake and/or the syrup if the purchaser desires. Sweet cakes were a traditional Greek offering to gods as well as prizes for heroes as far back as the 5th century B.C.E., so try some yourself!
