\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n

For the cake:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 4 large eggs (separated)<\/li>\n
  • 150 grams (3\/4 cup) sugar<\/li>\n
  • 140 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 200 grams (1 cup) semolina<\/li>\n
  • 100 grams (1 cup) shredded coconut<\/li>\n
  • 10 grams (2 tsp.) baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 150 grams (3\/4 cup) vegetable oil<\/li>\n
  • 240 ml. (1 cup) freshly squeezed orange juice<\/li>\n
  • Zest of 2 oranges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the syrup:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • 240 ml. (1 cup) water<\/li>\n
    • 150 grams (3\/4 cup) sugar<\/li>\n
    • 2-3 tbsp. lemon or orange juice<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 175c degrees.<\/li>\n
      2. In an electric mixer bowl, whip egg whites with sugar until you get a fluffy soft meringue.<\/li>\n
      3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, semolina, coconut, baking powder and vanilla.<\/li>\n
      4. Add in the egg yolks, oil, orange juice and zest, and mix just until incorporated.<\/li>\n
      5. Add the meringue and fold gently, just until incorporated.<\/li>\n
      6. Transfer the batter into 2 greased loaf pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.<\/li>\n
      7. Cool slightly at room temperature and in the meantime, make the syrup.<\/li>\n
      8. Syrup: In a small pot put water, sugar and lemon juice and bring to a boil.<\/li>\n
      9. Cook for 2-3 minutes after boiling and remove from heat.<\/li>\n
      10. Pour the syrup over the cake generously. Cool completely.<\/li>\n
      11. Before serving, garnish with some powdered sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • Keep the cake in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days.<\/li>\n
        • Serve the cake at room temperature.<\/li>\n
        • Sprinkle powdered sugar just before serving, otherwise it is simply absorbed by the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
          \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
