Cómo preparar Vasilopita Greek Saint Basils New Year's Cake
- Wrap a silver or gold coin tightly in aluminum foil.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch round cake pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups of flour, mixing until the batter resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 cup of milk. Add to the batter and mix well.
- In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add to the batter and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Gently insert the foil-wrapped coin into the batter.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.
- Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve warm. Traditionally, the oldest person cuts the first slice, followed by the rest of the family.
- Whoever finds the coin is believed to have good luck in the coming year!
