Mix the flour along with semolina, baking powder, baking soda. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar and grated orange peel until its turns light and creamy, then add the flour mixture and milk and beat everything until completely blended. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt to stiff peak stage, and with a wooden spooon stir carefully the batter until thoroughly mixed. Meanwhile combine the sugar and water to make the syrup in a saucepan, and stir until the sugar dissolves, boil for few minutes and finally add the lemon juice and remove from the heat.

Pour the cake batter in a greased and floured baking rectangular pan and bake the cake for 30minutes in middle rack.
