Vasil pie
The history of the Christmas cake is lost in the depths of the centuries, but it still retains its symbolism, which is the wish for luck, health and love! Each region of Greece has its own recipe, with yeast, like a cake, grated. My own memories are hiding Vasilopita with yeast, but I would like to give you a Vasilopita recipe that you can make all year round and serve it like a cake. It's easy, delicious and fragrant! Try it!

Notes
- It is preferable to cook it on the resistors up and down to 180 degrees. When baking in the air, there is a risk that the outside will cook faster and the inside will remain uncooked.
- To see if the cake is cooked, test it in the classic way we all know, by piercing the cake in the centre with a straw or a toothless knife. If they come out then the cake is ready.
- Do not open the oven until 30 minutes of baking time have elapsed.
- When it cools down well, wrap it in plastic wrap. This way it will keep for several days.
- If you have leftover pieces you can put them in the freezer
- All our ingredients must be at room temperature.
