GREEK NEW YEAR'S ORANGE AND BRANDY CAKE (VASSILOPITA)



Greek New Year's Orange and Brandy Cake (Vassilopita) image

In Greece, on New Year's day, after lunch, the father traditionally cuts into this rich cake. It has the year written on the top with almonds, and there is a coin inside the cake. The lucky person who gets the coin is given a gift of money to start off the new year. The recipe is from The Foods of the Greek Islands cookbook written by Aglaia Kremezi.
