Melomakarona/Greek Honey Cake The Greek National Pastry for Christmas

Ingredients for Syrup

• 500gr water• 700gr sugar• 1 orange cut in two• 2 cinnamon sticks• 100gr honey

We put everything, but the honey in a pot, and we let the boil for a minute. We remove the pot from the fire, we add the honey and let the syrup cool.

Ingredients for the Cakes• 400gr orange juice• 520gr olive oil• 1200gr flour• 30gr confectioner’s sugar• ½ tea spoon soda (powder)• 1 tea spoon cinnamon• 1/6 tea spoon ground clove• 50gr butter• Zest from one orange

We put all the liquid ingredients, the butter, the sugar, the soda and the spices in a big bowl. We mix everything with our hands, adding slowly the flour. The dough should not become very firm. After that we make oval shaped "cakes", and on the upper side we make small holes using the tip of a fork.We bake them on baking paper, in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes. They should get a deep gold colour, so maybe they need a bit more time. When they are done we put them warm in the syrup, move them around for a minute and then let them lose the excess syrup.For the last touch we need some more honey, and ground (in big pieces) walnut. On a plate we put some honey with walnuts then some melomakarona. On top of them we put some honey and walnuts, and then some more melomakarona etc...
