No No No it’s not New Years it’s February.<\/p>\n

My Dad seen this recipe in a book and he wanted to have it baked on his birthday. According to the history behind the cake called Vasilopita traditionally, it’s made with a single coin baked into it and legend has it the person who is served that slice will have good luck in the coming year. I actually didn’t read that part until writing up this recipe! God knows how I missed that but what a sweet and interesting tradition. <\/p>\n

The cake is especially for the those people who loves nuts it has a mixture of pistachios, almonds and walnuts yummy! I think our whole family are lovers of nuts so I was looking forward to trying this.<\/p>\n

I made a slight mistake eeek, I added all the nuts into the mixture instead of putting half of them on top! I only noticed after and was like shoot!!!!!! it actually wasn’t my fault as the book forgot to mention that step in the book! however there was a small photo illustrating it but you generally read the method. Anyway I didn’t mind the nuts being inside the cake it gave it a nice crunchy texture. <\/p>\n
