Karithopita (Greek Walnut Cake)

Description

Fluffy and extra syrupy! A mouthwatering Greek walnut cake, scented with the aromas and blends of cinnamon and grounded clove. This is the traditional Greek walnut cake recipe which calls for galeta (powdered breadcrumbs) instead of flour and is infused with a cinnamon flavoured syrup. It belongs in a Greek category of desserts called syropiasta, which means bathed in syrup, much like our favourite baklava, galaktoboureko, galaktoboureko with Kataifi, Saragli (baklava rolls) and Kataifi.
