ReceptnaptárLathopita (orange olive oil cake)
Ladopita, the "oil pie", is a local take on the egg-free cake of the Greek Lenten kitchen: olive oil and orange juice provide the moisture and the fragrance. This version is made with eggs and wholemeal spelt flour, so it's lighter, but just as aromatic and soft.

Tips
- Grate only the coloured part of the orange peel; the white pith is bitter.
- Don't overmix the batter, just until the flour disappears: an overmixed batter turns heavy.
- After resting overnight it's even moister and tastier.
