Ingredients: 1 1/2
cups
Oil * 1 1/2
cups
Orange juice * 1 1/2
cups
Sugar 2
tablespoons
Brandy (or slightly more) 1
teaspoon
Baking soda 1
teaspoon
Cinnamon 1
teaspoon
Ground cloves 1/2
cup
Walnuts 1/2
cup
Raisins 600
grams
Flour
A few sesame seeds
A little oil
Directions:
*[NOTE: Original recipe calls for "1-1/2 glasses of oil and 1-1/2 glasses of orange juice". No mention of what size glass, as is typical of Greek cookbooks.]
Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar. Dissolve the soda with the brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the ground cloves. Then very gradually add the flour, stirring constantly. Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the mixture. Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the mixture evenly.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve into oblong pieces.
