Başak Revani (Geleneksel Tat) is a ready-to-bake powder mix for revani, the much-loved Turkish semolina cake that is soaked in syrup after baking. The 500 g box comes from Başak of Akşehir and is labelled in several languages as a mix for semolina pastry with syrup. The serving suggestion on the box shows the finished cake cut into diamond pieces and finished with pistachio and coconut.
Revani is a fixture of Turkish tea tables, holiday visits and celebrations. Bake the cake and prepare the syrup following the instructions on the pack, then pour the syrup over the cake so that it soaks in as it cools. Cut into squares or diamonds and serve with Turkish tea or coffee; a spoon of clotted cream (kaymak) or vanilla ice cream goes well alongside, and chopped pistachios or desiccated coconut make an attractive finish.
The pack advises storing the unopened box in a cool, dry place. Once baked, keep the cake covered and consume within a few days. Please check the pack for the ingredient list and allergen information.
