 Categories: Greek, Cakes, Desserts
      Yield: 1 Cake
 
  1 1/2 c  Oil *
  1 1/2 c  Orange juice *
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      2 tb Brandy (or slightly more)
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Cinnamon
      1 ts Ground cloves
    1/2 c  Walnuts
    1/2 c  Raisins
    600 g  Flour
           A few sesame seeds
           A little oil
 
  *[NOTE: Original recipe calls for "1-1/2 glasses of oil and 1-1/2
  glasses of orange juice".  No mention of what size glass, as is
  typical of Greek cookbooks.]
  
  Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar.  Dissolve the soda with
  the brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the
  ground cloves.  Then very gradually add the flour, stirring
  constantly. Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the
  mixture. Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the mixture evenly.
  Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve
  into oblong pieces.
