Dear Dimitria, God bless your hands. This is my first time cooking Fanaropita and tomorrow is Saint Phanarios, day. I'm the patriarch of the family, and have no one to turn to except the yiayia's at church, or now the great Dimitra...😅😊. It's in the oven cooking at the moment, I'm sure it will be sensational..... efharisto para pouli. May God bless you and your family. ✝️🙏 Mark PS I substituted, dried fruits, for crushed wallnuts, Gold Coast Australia
I'm going to make this cake because it looks delicious, and also my husband lost his wedding ring. Maybe it will work. I told him even if we don't find it, I'm just glad I have him. The ring is just a ring. He is so sad.
Update: THE CAKE WORKS! And it works fast!!! No sooner had I put it in the oven than I heard a joyful cry from his office. He found it the third time he looked through his laundry basket. : ) Can't wait to have a celebratory piece.
Lost an eternity ring a few years back, and said to myself and to God i will never find that ring in a million years, funny thing a few months later i was doing some dusting with my dusting glove and shook it out and low and behold the ring fell out of the glove!!! This cake would have been ideal, but i do make Armenian spice cake sometimes and it had lots of flavour!!! I was very blessed to get my ring back!!! Will give your cake a try as well!!! I like simple cakes that taste amazing!!!
I feel so lost lately. Maybe I’ll make this cake. Thank you for sharing your talents and recipes succinctly. I was chatting with my 90 year old the other day, found out she loves your recipes, although hasn’t watched UA-cam. I am sending her a UA-cam link. 😉
Dimitra, I just love the way you explain and show us how to make each of your delicious recipes! I am in Canada and enjoy watching you. Thank you so much. 🩷
Family absolutely love this cake. I notice you list ground walnuts in the ingredients but the cake appears to contain finely chopped walnuts, which is how I make it. Either way, it tastes great. I really like the way you present recipes with no fuss and with an economy of movement. It's frustrating to watch some presenters peel five apples for example, one at a time. It's a pleasure to try all your recipes.
Great recipe. I make one every year but this year I am traveling to Rhodes to be at the saints festival. Awesome! Looks like I will be making this once I return.
I just made it for the first time. It looks and smells good. Hopefully it tastes good as well. I’m taking it to church this evening. Since I made it for St Fanouris finding my mom’s passport. Thank you
Thank you for this great recipe!I'm going to substitute with cup for cup glutenfree flour to make this a Glutenfree cake.I'll let you know how it turns out.😋🥰
Great video! I'd just like to ad that if you make it for religious reasons then you're required to share it with other people like neighbours or coworkers. Greek culture promoted sharing and gifting a lot.
This looks easy and good. Question-if a restaurant only uses 2-3 pieces of phyllo dough for that appetizer, is it *really* spanakopita? It tasted good, though, and the fava beans on the side did, too. What's the recipe that your relatives expect you to make for every get together? I had an older friend that I used to make flan for. It reached a point where her children (who are my age) expected it every holiday.
Dimitra I was thinking of making this for my Mom who is 95 The challenge is being able to freeze this in small portions I was thinking of using a mini muffin pan as she enjoys "bite size" How long would the oven time be do you think? Would I use the same oven temperature Thank you so much for your recipes♡
Yes, they would be delicious as muffins/cupcakes. I have also made this cake, cooled it and then I cut it into triangles and froze them in ziplock freezer bags... The cupcakes wold bake in 20-25 minutes (350 °F) depending on your oven :) Enjoy!
Hi Dimitra, Do you have recipes for the classic meat or spinach triangle shaped pies? The dough used always baffled me. Thanks in advance. I love all of your dishes and I want to thank you for sharing them with us!
I remember years ago my sister found something and she made this, but the recipe was worn put and she put 4 cups cinnamon instead of 4 teaspoons. What an expensive disaster lol

Thank you!! I've made this cake using both finely ground and roughly chopped walnuts. They both work in this recipe :) I hope that you enjoy it!!
Thanks for the recipe I'm definitely going to make it I love everything that goes in the cake
Thank you for this recipe.
Prayed for help finding a lost shirt and found it 10 mins later. Now I’m baking this cake in thanks! Thank you so much.

Yum, this looks delicious
Lovely ❤
Great video! I'd just like to ad that if you make it for religious reasons then you're required to share it with other people like neighbours or coworkers. Greek culture promoted sharing and gifting a lot.
Yum! I have to make this.
This looks easy and good.

What's the recipe that your relatives expect you to make for every get together? I had an older friend that I used to make flan for. It reached a point where her children (who are my age) expected it every holiday.
Μπράβο Δημητρα σου πέτυχε τέλεια η Φανουρόπιτα.Κι αν έχεις χάσει κάτι μελέτησε το και θα το βρεις.
If I use self raising flower instead of the all purpose flour, should I still use baking soda or just baking powder? I am just asking for a friend 😅
What is all purpose flour - I’m in UK we have Plain Flour or Self Raising Flour?
Plain flour is the same as all purpose 😊
Would a 9 inch springform work? Planning on baking this Saturday!
I don’t see why not. I would use it.
Demetra, looks delicious! (FYI - Υπάρχει λάθος με τη μέτρηση για το λάδι on screen, I think.)
I’ll try to correct that. Thank you!!

@@DimitrasDishes Thank you So kind!
@@DimitrasDishes triangles seem like they would work for her too🌞
Hi Dimitra, Do you have recipes for the classic meat or spinach triangle shaped pies? The dough used always baffled me. Thanks in advance. I love all of your dishes and I want to thank you for sharing them with us!
Yes, I have both on here and on my website. Google Dimitra's Spanakopita triangles or beef pies and you will find them :) Have a great day!
@@DimitrasDishes Thank you!
Looks delicious. This would be nice to add baklava syrup on top to absorb.. I'll experiment with it . thanks for your wonderful recipe. 😊
It would be delicious. However, I'd reduce the sugar in the recipe to 3/4 of a cup so that it's not overly sweet. Let me know how yours turns out 😄
@@DimitrasDishes ok. Good idea.
Great recipe can I use wheat flour instead of white ,since I don not have white flour? Please advise. thanks!
The whole wheat flour will make this cake very dense. I recommend all-purpose white flour for this recipe..
@@DimitrasDishes Thank you.
Can i bake this in a loaf pan or would the batter be too much for a loaf pan ?
So pretty 😍
You mentioned to let you know about recipe requests? How about saganaki. Please
You don't need to oil the parchment paper. That's the whole point.
Awesome
Cheers 👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥀☘🌺🍀🍁
ahh you haven't forgotten your Greek Orthodox Roots.
Why is it called the cake of the lost things? What’s the story behind it?
I think it’s because Agios Phanourios is the patron saint of lost things.
You say 3/4 cup oil verbally, but the written quantity on the screen says 3 1/4 cups! Yikes!
Orthodox Tradition Cake needs to be made in 3s, one offered to Saint, One to The Church, One offered to yourself / family
I remember years ago my sister found something and she made this, but the recipe was worn put and she put 4 cups cinnamon instead of 4 teaspoons. What an expensive disaster lol
