5 steps

Ingredients

3/4 cups Olive Oil
1 cup Sugar
3/4 cups Orange Juice, Freshly Squeezed
1 teaspoon Cinammon
1 teaspoon Ground Clove
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
3-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Walnuts, Roughly Chopped
1/2 cups Raisins, Roughly Chopped

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Place olive oil and sugar in a mixer and beat for about 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Add orange juice, cinnamon, clove and baking powder. Add the flour (in 3 additions) and mix. At the end, add walnuts and raisins and mix one more time.
3

Place batter in a 9-inch round or square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Or you can use a bundt cake pan if you like special patterns on your cake like me. (Also, I like busting the big fat Greek wedding myth that somehow Greek people don't know what a bundt cake is. So I use this cake shape. All. The.Time.)
4

Let the cake cool and remove from the pan. Share with friends or family and have them say a little prayer to St. Fanourios' mom to help you find your lost things. Watch for things to be revealed in the days to come. Woo-woo.
5

Enjoy.
