Directions
This is one of the most delicious desserts we have ever tasted. It is super easy to make and requires very few ingredients.
You should make it, trust us. You will be impressed! So moist and puffy, it literally melts in your mouth.
However there are two stages in the making of Ravani:
First, make a syrup for covering the cake.
Second, make a cake.
In order for the cake to be soft and puffy, you should beat egg whites into snow and then add yolk and flour mixture.
Garnish with vanilla and lemon zest. Your kitchen will be filled with their pleasant aroma.
Remember: There is one basic rule you should mind when making syrup desserts – either cake or syrup must be hot, not both. In this case the cake would be hot and the syrup cold.
