[@nickokesa2047]

we followed your recipe, was a great success. we were thinking this would also be nice with orange instead of lemon.

Hi Niko
Wow where is this cake predominately made ? Looks amazing - I’ll try make it soonish and give you feedback. Anyways I wish I had your genetics 🧬 I just look at γλυκά και παχαίνω 😅 … anyways I wonder if we can do this with oranges too ? School holidays coming up in about a month’s time - (teacher here) and lots of experimenting and giving to my family and friends (I’ll just eat a spoonful) 😂😢😮😊
And yes 🙌 I’ll do the Stavro to make him turn out even better for sure 👍 ❤

I got 3 greek lemons is that ok?

[@nikolopaa]

That’s even better my friend 😉 ❤️

[@theotheodorou1970]

Do you reckon this would work with semolina instead of crushed filo?

[@nikolopaa]

Hey Theo, yeah I would imagine so as it would be very similar to a Revani recipe (Greek semolina cake) which also has a syrup. I don’t have a recipe for it out yet but if you Google it you will be able to find some.
But if you end up following this and just replacing the filo with semolina let me know how it goes :)

[@theotheodorou1970]

​@@nikolopaaI'm just being lazy🤣 The Cypriots have a syrup sponge called kallonbramman, which we make with semolina. I've also made portokalopitta with semolina and it works well, so I'd imagine it would be ok here too. Great job with the videos, btw👍🏻
