Steps:
- Use an electric mixer to mix the sugar and butter; mix at medium-high speed for at least 5 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whilst continue mixing; wait each time for each egg to be absorbed, before adding the next. Pour in the cognac and the orange zest and mix for 10 more seconds. Set aside.
- Into a large bowl, add the chopped walnut, the powdered Melba toast, the cinnamon, the clove, the nutmeg, the baking powder and blend with a spoon. (Chop the walnut, using a blender, but be careful not to powder it; the authentic greek walnut cake calls for roughly chopped walnuts.)
- Combine the two mixtures and blend, until smooth.
- Place the egg whites into the bowl of the electric mixer, along with a pinch of salt. Make sure your egg whites, bowl and whisk attachments are clean and free of any water. Whisk the egg whites until the mixture is very thick and glossy and a long trailing peak forms when the whisk is lifted (meringues).
- With a spatula add gradually the meringues into the mixture and blend with light circular movements from the bottom up.
- Butter the bottom and the sides of a round baking tray, approx 30cm diameter and bake in a preheated oven at 170C, for about 35 minutes, until nicely colored on the outside and baked through.
- Let the karidopita (greek walnut cake) to cool and then prepare the syrup. Add all the ingredients for the syrup into a pot, and boil, until the sugar has dissolved. Scar the cake into pieces, and slowly ladle the hot syrup over the cold cake, allowing time for each ladle of syrup to be absorbed.
- Let it cool down for a while, before serving. This Greek walnut cake is ideally served cold with some vanilla ice-cream aside. Enjoy!!

KARITHOPITA (GREEK WALNUT CAKE)
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.

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.
KARITHOPASTA - GREEK WALNUT SYRUP CAKE
This is a variation on a popular Greek dessert which is a firm baked cake covered with sugar syrup. The syrup is allowed to seep into the cake for a few hours (preferably overnight) and it sweetens and moistens it. Note that this recipe uses breadcrumbs instead of flour and is useful when you want to bake something but have run out of flour.

Steps:
- Grease a 22cm by 35 cm pan with butter or margarine. Do not line with baking paper or use non-stick sprays.
- Beat butter in a medium bowl until softened and add sugar beating until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, spices and baking powder.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition and then the liqueur.
- Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Finally add the walnuts and beat until just combined.
- Tip into baking pan and smooth evenly over bottom.
- Bake on the bottom rack of the oven at 200c for 30-35 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.
- Test cake by inserting skewer and allow to cool until room temperature.
- While cake is cooling add ingredients for syrup into a small saucepan, except for vanilla essence.
- Boil for 5 minutes at medium heat. Then take off heat and add the vanilla essence if desired.
- Pour hot syrup over cooled cake. Start by ladling slowly from one end to another and gently tip remaining syrup over cake trying to be as even as possible.
- Allow cake to soak syrup for a few hours. It is best if it soaks overnight.
- Cut cake into diamonds to serve with a swirl of whipped sweetened cream (I add a bit of vanilla essence or liqueur to the cream) and flaked chocolate.
- Note: It is beat to start with all ingredients at room temperature to avoid butter curdling when eggs are added.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Cut in the shortening until it is in very small pieces, then mix in the milk and egg using an electric mixer on low speed. Mix for about 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the bowl at least once to avoid lumps. Stir in walnuts by hand. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan for about 30 minutes while you prepare the honey syrup.
- In a saucepan, stir together 1/4 cup of sugar and the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey and lemon juice, and remove from heat.
- Make slashes in the top of the cake in a diamond pattern using a knife. Pour the hot syrup over the top of the cake.
