How To Make st.basil's new years cake
-
1Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 10 inch round cake pan,with the butter.
-
2In a medium bowl,cream the butter and sugar together until light in color. Stir in the flour and mix until the batter resembles coarse bread crumbs. Add the eggs one at a time, blending each one in well.
-
3In a small bowl combine the baking powder,and milk, add to the batter and mix well. Finally combine the lemon juice and baking soda in a small bowl, add to the cake batter and mix well. Pour into the greased pan, insert the foil wrapped coin, and bake for 20 minutes.
-
4Remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle with nuts and 2 Tabl. sugar over the cake, then return to the oven and bake for another20-30 minutes until the cake springs to the touch. Allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the pan onto a cake plate.

5Ideally the cake should be served warm, each person gets a slice of the cake, starting with the most senior member! Members of the Greek Orthodox Church believe that whoever gets the coin is blessed.
