A lovely cake to serve in summer drizzled with rose water syrup and served with ice cream and fresh fruit.

You need for 10:
125g unsalted butter, softened
230g caster sugar
3 eggs, separated
250g plain yoghurt
1 tbsp rose water
1/2 tsp lime zest
125g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
55g ground almonds
125g semolina

For the syrup:
300g sugar
1 cup water
1 tbsp rosewater

  • Slip into your Pucci caftan
  • tie your hair up into a chic chignon
  • Moisterise the cake tin with lashings of butter.
  • Now get out the butter and sugar and cream it. You cna use your beaters or
    just do it by hand. which is good for your arms
  • Now grind up the almonds in the whizzer  (but leave a few chunky pieces).
  • Zest the lemons. Did you know lemons make your hands soft?
  • Now whisk the egg yolks, yoghurt, rose water and zest together
  • Now mix it with the fattening and divine creamed butter and sugar.
  • You should taste it now to make sure it’s delicious.
  • Now sift flour with the baking powder.
  • and grab another bowl and toss in the almonds and mix with the semolina.
  • Then stir that into wet mix. Gooey like your thighs after eating this
  • Now you must find another bowl and whisk whites to soft peaks.
  • Get George Clooney to clean up all the dirty bowls
  • Fold the egg whites softly like Prada dress into other ingredients.
  • Pour into a baking tin and Bake 180C for about 30-40. minutes.
  • You can take it out if it’s a little caramel on the top. it’s better if it’s under cooked than over. A bit like suntans.
  • Make the syrup and then pour it over the warm cake, giving cake time to absorb syrup before adding more.
  • Serve with icecream and more syrup.
  • Divine.

For the syrup:

  • Dissolve sugar in water over moderate heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Cool and then add rosewater.
  • Pour over cake and leave the rest in a jug
