This recipe is from Yesilkivi. I visit Secil's blog very often lately. Her pictures are so tempting and recipes are wonderful. Thanks again.

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of semolina flour
• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1 cup of finely chopped walnut

Syrup:

• 3 cups of granulated sugar
• 3 cups of water
• juice and zest of 1/4 lemon

For the syrup; take 3 cups of sugar, and 3 cups of water in a medium pot. Bring it to the boil over medium heat. Boil for 7-8 minutes. Add juice and zest of 1/4 lemon into the pot and boil for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat off. Set a side.
Preheat the oven 350 F.
Sift flour, semolina flour, vanilla sugar, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Whisk eggs and sugar in another large mixing bowl until it gets creamy. Gradually add butter, sifted flour, semolina flour, vanilla sugar, and baking soda to the bowl, whisking consistently.

Serve it when it is cool. It is more delicious for the next day.
