Method

1
To make the syrup, put the sugar and cold water in a pan over a medium heat and let the sugar dissolve. Add the lemon juice and bring the mixture to the boil. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the mixture is sticky and has thickened to a syrup. Stir in the orange essence and rose water and set aside to cool.
2
Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine Lurpak® butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, then stir in the yoghurt. In a separate large bowl, combine the semolina and baking powder. Gently fold in the butter mixture into the semolina until just combined.
4
Pour the batter into a cake tin at least 6 cm deep and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and a skewer when inserted comes out clean.
