Name: Gliko Tapsiou Me Ladi (Oil Cake)
Ingredients: 1 1/2 c Oil *; 1 1/2 c Orange juice *; 1 1/2 c Sugar; 2 tb Brandy (or slightly more); 1 ts Baking soda; 1 ts Cinnamon; 1 ts Ground cloves; 1/2 c Walnuts; 1/2 c Raisins; 600 g Flour; A few sesame seeds; A little oil

I ask the children of religious parents to mark well what I am saying. It is the highest privilege to be the child of a godly father and mother, and to be brought up in the midst of many prayers. It is a blessed thing indeed to be taught the gospel from our earliest infancy, and to hear of sin, and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and holiness, and heaven, from the first moment we can remember anything. But, oh, take heed that you do not remain barren and unfruitful in the sunshine of all these privileges: beware lest your heart remains hard, impenitent, and worldly, notwithstanding the many advantages you enjoy. You cannot enter the kingdom of God on the credit of your parents’ religion. You must eat the bread of life for yourself, and have the witness of the Spirit in your own heart. You must have repentance of your own, faith of your own, and sanctification of your own.

INSTRUCTIONS

*[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.
