I made this today and it was amazing. I made cardamom syrup to drizzle over the cake also. Mine needed about 45 mins to bake but I think it's because I used a smaller deeper dish. It was a hit at our family lunch today 😊

[@irinadalah9089]

uuu-uu, cardamom syrup! that's an awesome idea! how do you make it? first the water and sugar, and then add the cardamom? or first the water and cardamom, and then add sugar?

[@Nettkin]

@@irinadalah9089 1 cup each of water and sugar, a tablespoon of cardamom pods at the same time. Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer for 20 mins or until it has reduced by a third and you have thick syrup. It will thicken more when it cools. Let it steep overnight to infuse the flavour. Remove the pods before you use it.

I would love to see more lent recepies

[@joshdennis8571]

Thanks so much for uploading so many vegan and vegetarian friendly recipes down the years. It's really cool to be able to discover traditional foods from different cultures that hippies like us can actually eat.

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much for this wonderful idea, Karydopita without eggs.

[@irinadalah9089]

thanks for teaching us - it really is useful that you explain all kinds of options and trials that you had. I tried it a few times, at least three of which I used regular eggs (4 M) - and it comes out a winner every time! I tried it with pumpkin seeds first time - we all lack iron, so we eat a lot of those seeds. it was awesome! then I tried with: candied orange and lemon peel (which I make myself, at home), small bits of colored rahat locum (which was classic for my romanian childhood), added chopped walnuts, and sliced almonds - they all worked wonderfully! the only thing that didn't work was chocolate covered coffee beans I also used all kinds of spice mixes instead of only cinnamon, including cardamom and allspice, and they all worked. I'm going to try it now with no spices and no added dried fruits - I will only add a few drops of rose extract

Καλησπέρα Δήμητρα! Να προτείνω λίγη κανέλα και λίγο γαρύφαλλο για άρωμα! Για λάδι μπορείς να βάλεις και μισό ελαιόλαδο, μισό ηλιέλαιο! Καλή Σαρακοστή!🤗

[@shainazion4073]

You are so right! My grandmother said she had no recipe, a standard Jewish measure is a Yartzeit (memorial) candle glass. They light a candle for the dead on the anniversary of the persons death. Every older Jewish grandmother had at least 10 of the glasses in their cabinet. Even with eggs, different size eggs, produce different cakes.

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

Thank you so much for this video; this cake is perfect, not too sweet. I made this gluten free by subbing King Arthur's Measure for Measure. I'm not vegan, but I really prefer baking with flax eggs. First, it's cheaper, but, more importantly, the cakes never seem to form that dome. They rise evenly with a flat surface. I also added some cloves and a pinch of anise. Thank you again.

[@AnnDrogyne]

As was watching this I thought, "Chopped dates will be lovely with that!". Got to try at the weekend.

[@LindaC616]

You had me at aaalll of those oranges! 😋 The Navy couple from Portugal who lived in my neighborhood invited me over for Christmas eve dinner years ago. She made bacalau com nata, a salt cod and potato dish baked with cream....I've sought the recipe ever since, and the best I could ever get was a student's grandma's recipe: "a little of this, a bit of that"...so I know how you feel! (My mom used to do the same to me, my niece and I share notes).

[@AlexanderGkamanis]

I cant remember a single recipe my mom could explain to me.... She always want to come and just show me how to do it... This one is delicious!!!

[@helenmalandrakis9746]

I will make this during Lent. I have used flaxseed as an egg substitute.

[@veronical3135]

Was looking for something sweet but non dairy for lent. Perfect timing.👍

[@tanvav]

TY sweet Dimittroula mou! I will try to make this.

[@peggylee6086]

[@catherinethomas2906]

wow Dimitra the cake is delicious went down a storm with my boys and husband! i aded 30g more sugar and used chia as the egg but also added the flax. Moist delicious easy on the stomach and packed with protein. I also used rice flour and tapioca flour instead as we’re Gluten Free 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙌💜😻👍

I would like to use rice flour , could you tell me the ration you used for the flours and did you have to add more fluid as rice flour is like a sponge. Thanks

Thank you for this great recipe. I have found that some types of tangerines can have very bitter zest, not equivalent to oranges at all. I do not recommend them, unless you have tried that variety before. I recommend just organic orange, zested.

Great recipe. Would you consider setting the focus on your camera to *manual* so that the autofocus will stop seeking and going wildly out of focus? You can then simply set-and-forget the focus before each scene; much better!

Hello, to use apple sauce how much of a measurement would it be? To use egg how many would I use? Thank You 🙂

[@maryyiamarelos6179]

Looks lovely. If I was to use apple sauce, instead of flax seeds, how much would I need.would it be 425 gms like the pumpkin purée?

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Daily flax (chia and hempseed)with your oat porridge. Can you replaced the oil with apple sauce and the sugar with( Less monk fruit or coconut) will gluten free flour work🤔 Baking paper please if Plantbased try to avoid OIL. cinnamon any time for me.

Can this be made with gluten free flour?

It is more of a orange cake rather than walnut, which I don't like in baking. If orange juice is not added, it must be entirely walnut

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

I wouldn't ever use that much oil in a recipe, that's over the top, very unhealthy.. especially "light" olive oil which is altered oil. You might try reworking this with some applesauce in place of a lot of the oil. Also wheat flour is nasty as well, try using spelt (not hybridized into oblivion), which has far less gluten.
