- 1 cup flour, 125 grams
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, 150 grams
- 1 cup vegetable oil, 218 grams
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 245 grams

Instructions
The cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 F or 175 C. Grease a 9 inch round spring form pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease it. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the sugar, oil and vanilla, and mix them well.
- Add the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, yogurt, baking powder and salt and mix everything together until incorporated.
- Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes or until lightly golden on top, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool
The syrup
- Add the water, sugar and lemon juice to a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Dissolve the sugar completely, and allow the mixture to boil and thicken for a few minutes. Set aside to cool.
Assemble and Serve
- Pour the syrup evenly over the cake, or use a pastry brush to brush it on top. Allow the cake to fully absorb the syrup.
- Serve warm or chilled with some fresh fruits.
