The 27th of August is St Fanourios day for the Greek Orthodox. It is said that this vegan cake was his favourite. People in Cyprus and Greece make this cake as a gift to him, when they lost something or when they wish for something to happen.
I make it because i like it so much. It is a very simply, yet delicious cake, great for every season, for breakfast or as a sweet treat during the day. The cinnamon, zest and vanilla simply make it really tasty.
There are various variations to the recipe, the one i love and make is the below.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
1 cup cooking oil
1 tbsp cinammon
2 sachet vanilla
zest from 1 orange
How to:
- Preheat the over to 180C
- Use non stick baking tray (or muffin trays if you prefer); otherwise line the tray with baking paper
- Blend all the ingredients together until they are well mixed and pour the mixture into your baking tray. Cook for about 40-45 minutes.
- enjoy!
