Brandy-orange new year's cake (vasilopita)
Cakes
The brandy, orange and lemon flavours combine to form a light and springy cake packed with flavour. It's a not a heavy cake as just a small amount of brandy is added. Traditionally, this cake is served on New Year's Day. A coin is hidden inside just before it is placed in the oven and whoever cuts the piece of cake with the coin inside, is said to have "luck" for the year - it results in people wanting large pieces! It's not just a New Year's cake - it's the perfect partner to a cup of tea or coffee too.
