Vaselopita recipe

1 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups white sugar

3 cups all-purpose flour

6 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk, lukewarm

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Generously grease a round 10 inch cake pan.

In a medium bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light; add flour and stir until mixture is mealy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.

Stir baking powder into milk then stir into flour mixture.

Mix soda and lemon juice; stir into batter.

Pour batter into greased pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with nuts and 1 tablespoon white sugar, then return to oven for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and gently cut a small hole in the cake.

Place a quarter in the hole, then sprinkle confectioners' sugar over cake, making sure to cover the hole.

Cool cake on a rack for about 10 minutes, then place a dish over the top of the pan and turn over.

Serve warm.
