Greek New Year Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius. Next, take a generous amount of cooking spray and coat the inside of a 10-inch round cake pan.
2
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together sugar and butter until they reach a lighter color; then, incorporate flour into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
3
Meanwhile, whisk together baking powder and milk in a separate bowl. Once combined, pour this mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until everything is well blended.
4
In another small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and baking soda. Add this mixture to the batter, stirring until it's fully incorporated.
5
Pour the cake batter into the prepared 10-inch round cake pan.
6
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it's done. Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle chopped nuts and sugar evenly over its surface.
7
Return the cake to the oven for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until it springs back when touched.
8
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a small hole in the center of the cake. Place a quarter inside the hole and try to cover it with sugar.
9
Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
10
Serve the cake warm, straight from the oven.
