Ingredients:
1 glass oil
1 ¼ glasses sugar
4 glasses flour
5 eggs
1 glass orange juice or a small natural yoghurt
1 glass coarsely ground almonds
3 tablespoons baking powder
Zest of an orange
Brandy to taste
Method:
Beat the oil and sugar and then gradually add the orange squash or yogurt and eggs one by one. Then add the remaining ingredients into the mixture.
Place in a greased baking tin and bake in a preheated, moderate oven for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Note: For the sake of tradition, wrap a coin in a piece of foil and press it into the mixture before baking. The person who finds the coin, will have good fortune for the year.
