MC formatting by bobbi744@sojourn.com NOTES : This recipe is a big hit at the Taverna Anna Restaurant in North Filotheh, a suburb of Athens. If you like pecans, you'll enjoy this cake. Bobbie's notes: I found this a bit dry. I served it with peach butter. Try cutting cooking time by 10 minutes. Test for doneness. Recipe by: Opaa! Greek Cooking, Detroit Style by George J.
