Vasilopita new year's greek pie

16 servings
1 hour 30 min


1. Divide the eggs into squirrels and yolks.

2. Whisk the whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy and, gradually introducing a third of all sugar, continue to whisk until good peaks.

3. In a dough bowl, whisk the yolks with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar until light, lush.

4. Add the softened butter to the yolks and whisk.

5. Add the freshly squeezed orange juice and cognac. Mix well.

6. Sift the flour with baking powder into a bowl and stir.

7. In portions, put proteins into the dough and mix with folding movements. Between portions of proteins, put one orange zest, cranberries with raisins and nuts (walnuts or pecans) into the dough.

8. Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. Brush the 26 cm diameter tin with butter and sprinkle with flour.

9. Put the dough in the tin, flatten and put a coin wrapped in foil in the pie (to whom it comes across, he will be a favorite of fate all year). Sprinkle the cake with almond petals and place in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Readiness (almost as always) is checked by piercing something. 10. Leave the pie to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then transfer the basilopita to a dish and leave to cool completely. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Nice!
