Orthodox Saints - Life of Saint Fanourios the Wonderworker (27 August)

For those who would like to bake the Fanouropita, this is my mother’s recipe. She always used to make it for us. It’s one of my favorite cake/bread. Some parts of Greece make it as a cake form. Other parts as a bread form.

Fanouropita

1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon (ground)
1/4 teaspoon cloves (ground)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup walnuts (ground)
1/2 cup raisins

*Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan, or line the bottom with lightly greased parchment paper.
*In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and the sugar until well combined.
*Add the orange juice, cinnamon, cloves, and baking powder and mix well.
*Using a spatula, incorporate the flour in batches into the batter, continually scraping the sides of the bowl, and mix until just combined.
*Stir in the ground walnuts and raisins.
*Transfer the batter to the cake pan, pressing it out to the edges and smoothing the top with the spatula.
*Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the cake turns golden and a toothpick inserted at a few different points comes out clean.
