Vasilopita
Ingredients
5 eggs
2 cups sugar
¾ cup milk (the recipe called for ½ cup but I reduced the brandy and added more milk as I have a child in the family)
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 cup margarine (the recipe called for butter but why all these extra calories? Margarine worked as fine)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves (the recipe called for ½ tsp but I thought it would be too much and I was right)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ cup brandy (the recipe called for ½ cup but I was afraid that my son would start saying the carols again after eating this and I couldn’t bare another round of carols. No thanks.)
1 ½ cup ground walnuts
Zest of one orange
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
500 gr. self rising flour
