Karithopita (Greek Walnut Cake) image

This is my mom's specialty and she makes it for all holidays. It is a rich, dark, spicy cake that has been soaked in a syrup and is best served with a dollop of whipped cream.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
5 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
2 cups chopped walnuts, toasted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cognac
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup cognac
1/3 cup orange juice
cinnamon stick
freshly whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F; butter and flour a 13 x 9 baking pan.
  • In a bowl combine the walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, breadcrumbs, flour, and baking powder.
  • In a small glass, dilute the soda with the cognac.
  • Beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • In a large bowl mixing bowl, cream the butter with the sugar and then add the eggs yolks; mix in the soda with the cognac, and add the milk and the walnut mixture, beating until well combined; fold in 1/4 of the beaten egg whites to lighten batter, then carefully fold in the rest; it is ok if a few white streaks show in the batter; spread into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Cool cake completely (it is very important that the cake is cooled before pouring on hot syrup because otherwise it will turn mushy).
  • For the syrup: Mix all the ingredients together in a medium saucepan; bring it to a boil and boil for 5-7 minutes; remove cinnamon stick and pour hot syrup over cooled cake; let the cake cool completely (from the addition of the hot syrup) before serving.
