Recipe: Greek Walnuts Cake
Summary: My favorite authentic walnut cake recipe. this recipe comes from Cephalonia (Kefalonia), an island in the Ionian Sea. Self-rising flour and results in a wonderful dark spice and nut cake soaked in a sweet syrup, topped with a sprinkle of more walnuts.
If you don’t have the time to bake, this recipe is very easy and it looks like you spend hours baking this cake.
