Creations I have made or borrowed from myself, my mum and my yiayia
Vasilopita By Lisa (A Recipe Borrowed From My Cousin)
Ingredients
125g Chopped Butter
1 Tbs Grated Lemon Rind
220g Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
225g Self-Raising Flour
125mL Sour Cream
Foil
A Gold Coin
Doilies
Icing Sugar
Method
1. Grease 21cm round tin.
2. Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees.
3. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and beat at a medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Spoon the cake mix into your round baking tin. Wrap the gold coin with the foil and place in the cake. (This is the exciting part… when you cut the cake at midnight whoever gets the coin has good luck for the year)
5. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
7. Once cooled place a doilie on top of the cake and dust the cake with icing sugar. Gently remove the doilie to leave a pretty pattern on the cake.
Happy New Year
