A Sweet Lineage

"The very sweet-toothed should not leave Veria without trying the local speciality, revani, a syrup-soaked sponge cake" (The Rough Guide)

Revani, in the shape of "yogurt tatlısı" has been our staple sweet at home, nowadays only cooked for Bairam due to our ever expanding figures as a family. This year for Ramadan Bairam I was the one who cooked this desert, a rite de passage, and a passage of tradition all in one. Here's a recipe for it in English
