Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c Oil *
1 1/2 c Orange juice *
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 tb Brandy (or slightly more)
1 t Baking soda
1 t Cinnamon
1 t Ground cloves
1/2 c Walnuts
1/2 c Raisins
600 g Flour
A few sesame seeds
A little oil

*[NOTE: Original recipe calls for "1-1/2 glasses of
oil and 1-1/2 glasses of orange juice". No mention of
what size glass, as is typical of Greek cookbooks.]

Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar. Dissolve
the soda with the brandy and add it to the mixture
also; add the cinnamon and the ground cloves. Then
very gradually add the flour, stirring constantly.
Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the
mixture. Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the
mixture evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake
for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve into oblong pieces.
