Ingredients:
Cake:
3/4 lb butter
1 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups farina (or 1 1/4 cups farina + 1 cup flour)
5 tsp baking powder (sifted into farina)
1/8 tsp salt
10 eggs (separated)
Syrup:
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
Optional: Adjust syrup consistency as needed; add lemon juice for extra flavor.
Cake instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Beat the butter and gradually add the sugar.
Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift the farina (or farina and flour) with the baking powder and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then carefully fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased pan (lightly greased with butter) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Syrup instructions:
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Let the syrup simmer for about 10 minutes.
Ensure the syrup is cool when poured over the warm cake.
Allow the syrup to soak into the cake for a few hours before serving for the best texture and flavor.
