Looks delicious….love the options that u gv with every recipe, they are so helpful. Will try soon… oh yes I did try ur spanakopita wreath recipe, it turned out so good. Thx much !
Hi Dimitra, I watched the video twice. The ingredients section says 1/ 2 cup orange juice . I did not see you add it to the batter. Please let me know what to do with OJ. Love your recipes, Mary
Cooking with Jonny says Hello 👋! Your video is truly amazing and shows your passion and devotion towards beautiful food. I am so lucky to see your work through your channel. Thank you for sharing! 🤗🤗🤗🇬🇧
This looks yummy but I prefer the gluten-free recipes that are very similar to this but use whole pre-boiled oranges to give an intense bitter orange flavour. Have you a similar recipe?
Oh my god that cake is so incredibly delicious, I made it today, it was as good as I expected it to be and more, wow. Thank you so much. Oh by the way, it was cooked on my oven in less than 30 min. I do have a question, have you ever made it with half the amount of butter?
Love. Love…LOVE this cake! Thank you so much! I was wondering if the cake should be refrigerated if I make it a day ahead of serving, or just leave it at room temperature.
Hello Dimitra. I love all your recipes and am planing to try many. (What i love is that it seems you are doing all of them in the traditional way, and that's what i was looking for). I have one question: on your webpage the written recipe includes 125ml freshly squeezed orange juice, but then it s not included in the preparation, nor did i see it being used in the video. What happened to the orange juice? Shall i add it and at which step? Greetings from Slovenia! (Btw, this dish is in the oven right now, i'm just asking because i'm planing to repeat it).
Not a fan of GF but this looks delicious, Dimitra. Try with mascarpone cream and toasted almonds. Thanks for the great recipes. Merry Christmas, kales yiortes!
Dimitra, this is pretty close to a tarta de Santiago, done with lemon. I'll follow your directions to substitute the orange for lemon. From memory, (so I hope it's correct), toast 3C almonds in oven. Cool and grind, it's okay if there's an occasional odd puece of almond in there. About the same amount of butter. 2/3C sugar. But 7 eggs, and instead of separating them, just beat after each egg. 1/4 or 1/3 C our, I've used rice flour to keep it gluten free, works fine. I think the same with vanilla, salt, haven't seen your recipe for the juice yet. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Yes, thanks Sharon, I as going to ask the same question by not using the butter - but using vegetable oil. If so how much vegetable oil would it be. Thanks 👍
Is there 1/2 cup of orange juice in the recipe? Did you just forget to add it in the video? Would hate to make this and not have it turn out. Thank you for your response
This recipe looks lovely do you have a similar recipe with a Suger alternative because I have pre-dibitas,I would love to make this recipe without all the Suger greetings from dublin ireland Patricia 🇮🇪
Its so good but im beat confused in your ingredients and how to bake you write orange juice but you didnt have how come?I appreciate you answer my question thanks
Which region or province is this from? My family to the north is to the Belluno region - more borderline so finding this was closer to the north west of Italy. Thanks! I always made a Swiss roll cake every December on my birthday for my family and co workers since I love to bake it but can't eat it anymore as easily due to gi post surgical issues ( post cholesectomy nightmare. Only bland dietary sweets will do.) Thanks, if you know I'd love to hear your take. That or it's apple strudel...gf puff pastry if you have done this. Leavening agent I adjust based on recipe.
Very nice recipe chef 👍👌👏. Thank you for your effort 🌹yes VASILOPITA excellent idea 😍. KALLA XRISTOUGENNA KAI EUTYXISMENO TO NEON ETOS 2022 FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🎄☃️🎅🎁🎁🎁🎇🍾🥂🤗🌹🌞😎
Hi Dimitra Thankyou for your lovely recipes.. Can I use blanched almond meal in place of almond flour? I’d like to make it for this new year .. Thankyou
Sara, if your eggs white don't beat up the probability is that the utensil that you are using might have some fat or other grease in it. The bowl that you use should be extra clean from any other ingredients. Not that you are not clean but if any sediments are in the bowl the egg white will never beat. Also if the eggs are cold ❄ they will never beat, room temperature is the best. Also try to add a teaspoon of cream of tartar to the room temperature eggs 🥚. This will work for sure. All the best. 👍
Love your recipes and how natural you are when presenting them. Great to watch you. I have one question, why do you mix in the egg whites a bit at a time in the mixer instead of just folding them all in together by hand. Doesn't the mixer deflate the whites? Thanks, Sonia from Florence, Italy
@@DimitrasDishes Yes now, I see them. But they weren't there before. Anyway, I solved the problem by googling your website. Then I found both the shop and the recipe! 😂 Thank you for replying so quickly. Much appreciated! I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and send you every good wish for the New Year, too. By the way, that cake looks delicious!
I like almonds but not almond flavour, marzipan, frangipane, if you are like me, I think leaving out the almond extract with be enough to make not taste like marzipan. I have made almond 'muffins' in with almond flour and its not marzipany. if you can't find almond flour you can easily make it, if you have a food processor, is just ground almonds, even almonds with skin on should be fine
@@LindaC616 Ooh really? That particular one? What makes it dense? So after baking propably should look more like a desert... and wouldnt be a good idea that you take a slice on hand i guess..
@@blackmamba5380 Oh no, you can totally pick up a slice, just as she did in the video, and eat it with your hand. In fact, the original recipe from Spain is quite dry, so if you eat it in Spain, they often ask if you want some sherry poured over it. My recipe does not require sherry, as it is not dry-- but it doesn't come out exactly like the traditional one. It's just more dense because it has almost no flour in it. 2 sticks of butter, 7 eggs, 3 cups of ground almonds, and 1/3 of a cup of any kind of flour you want. As well as juice and zest of a Lemon
@@LindaC616 But... 2:30 she put yolks and 3:02 she uses flour... She prefered to have a marega mix of white part and sugar to add later. Thats what i understand... whats the diffrence instead of mixing them altogether?? What difference is between almond and ordinary flour? Classic flour absorbs more liquid than almond i guess?
This is an awesome cake! I made it with lemons instead of oranges and it was insanely good.
This tuned out beautiful everyone loved it
I can easily make this keto with Monkfruit sweetener or Truvia!! Nice recipe!
Sounds great!
How much mono or stevia sweetener to make it Keko annone?
@@olgaono7759 I would try the same amount of monk fruit to sugar. It’s 1:1 ratio.
Thank you
Thank you for another wonderful recipe, Dimitra. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Looks delicious….love the options that u gv with every recipe, they are so helpful. Will try soon… oh yes I did try ur spanakopita wreath recipe, it turned out so good.
Thx much !
Πολύ ωραίο κέϊκ .Ευχαριστούμε πολύ .Καλά Χριστούγεννα σου εύχομαι, υγεία και ευτυχία στην οικογένεια σου.
Good looking cake. Merry Christmas to you and yours Ms Dimitra. Pamela in Detroit
Thank you, Dimitra, very good recipe. I substituted sugar with stevia and made it keto friendly. Great for diabetics
I am going to try making this also . I am going to visit Greece one day, because I love the food, and I know some people.
Thanks 😊
Happy new year
I was looking for this recipe since long time
God bless you

I have seen recipes where the oranges are boiled for at least 2 hours and the whole oranges are blended and the pulp added to the mixture
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Love. Love…LOVE this cake! Thank you so much! I was wondering if the cake should be refrigerated if I make it a day ahead of serving, or just leave it at room temperature.

Merry Christmas Dimitra, thanks for this wonderful recipe 😋.
Same to you!
Not a fan of GF but this looks delicious, Dimitra. Try with mascarpone cream and toasted almonds. Thanks for the great recipes. Merry Christmas, kales yiortes!
With all that butter and sugar this cake would come out too sweet and greasy. I'm a fan and watch every one of your videos
Delicious!
Have a great Christmas and new year Dimitra 😄
Thank you! Same to you :)
Fior tiglianidis excelente
I just love this video! This cake look delicious and you make it look easy to prepare. 🤤

That sounds lovely. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us!! Happy Holidays to you and your family :)
@@DimitrasDishes it's Williams Sonoma, actually. I'm gonna change up the orange using your measurements (I like not having to whip the egg whites!)
Looks yummy - could I replace half butter with olive oil? And could I make it a bundt cake? Will try this for sure . Have a lovely Xmas
Yes, absolutely. Enjoy :)
Just know that it won't fill the cake pan. It's dense and moist, but doesn't raise very high
Yes, thanks Sharon, I as going to ask the same question by not using the butter - but using vegetable oil.
If so how much vegetable oil would it be. Thanks 👍
@@summer._._.1988 I think the same amount

Hi Dimitra
Thankyou for your lovely recipes..
Can I use blanched almond meal in place of almond flour?
I’d like to make it for this new year ..
Thankyou
Yes you can!
Yum
Thank you for giving us GF people another option for yumminess. Now if only you could come up with GF spanakopita .
I wonder if there's a gluten-free phyllo pastry already out there? I'll look into it :)
@@DimitrasDishes What a wonderful gift that would be, Thank you
Yumm
My egg whites does not whipped the way you do it yours? What am i doing wrong?? Please advise, Thank you

Adding them a little at a time lightens the batter and then they fold in better. Happy New Year
Dimitra, there is no link to your shop; nor is there the usual link to the recipe.
The links are in the description box under the video :)

No problem. I am making it tiday and wantedvto make sure. Thanks!!
I made this and everyone loved it. Thanks Dimitra 😊
Ι hate sugar

It's dense
