Recipesfull introduces to you: Greek Recipes. (Fanouropita (Vegan Greek Raisin, Walnut, and Olive Oil Cake) Recipe). This cake is named after the Saint Fanourios. It's said that if you've lost something, you make this cake so that St Fanourios can help you find it. While the story behind this cake is nice, the cake itself is even nicer! I love the richness of the olive oil, which helps the cake stay moist for days.
