2. Add olive oil, yoghurt, zest, vanilla and orange juice. Mix well to combine.
3. Change the whisk attachment to the flat beat. Mix semolina with baking powder and add to wet mixture. Slowly mix until well combined.
4. Bake at 180ºC for 35-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and let it stand for 15 minutes.

6. Sprinkle freshly ground pistachios on the top before serving.
