How to Make Agios Fanourios Cake Fanouropita Spiced Raisin Cake No Eggs

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
  2. Hydrate 1 cup of raisins in 1/2 cup of warm water or cognac for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Grease and flour a 10-11 inch round cake pan, or use a silicone baking liner.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of vegetable oil and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar.
  5. Using a mixer or electric blender, beat the oil and sugar mixture for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice and beat for another minute.
  7. Stir in the hydrated raisins (drained), 1 cup of chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, and 1 tablespoon cognac (optional).
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy! Remember to share and say, "May God forgive Agios Fanourios' mother!"
  11. Once cooled, cut into slices and share with friends and family!
