Every so often, I flip through one of my recipe books - in this case, the Complete Book of Greek Cooking, above - and come across something that I am astounded I haven't already tried. This was one of those times. I was asked to bring a dessert to a Hanukkah party and I knew this would fit the bill as being simple to make, yet full of flavor and decadent enough (2 sticks of butter! 2 cups of sugar! 5 eggs!) to qualify as a great holiday dessert. I absolutely LOVE desserts and cakes with orange flavoring, especially around Christmastime, and this cake is full of orange flavor. After the cake is baked, you pour an orange-y sugar syrup all over the top and it gets completely soaked into the cake. So this is a very rich, dense, moist, and DELICIOUS buttery orange cake. So good. And lucky for my there were leftovers and I ate the remainder of the cake for breakfast for the rest of the week. I will be craving this, and definitely will make it again.
