Ingredients: 

1 glass oil 

1 ¼ glasses sugar 

4 glasses flour 

5 eggs 

1 glass orange juice or a small natural yoghurt 

1 glass coarsely ground almonds 

3 tablespoons baking powder 

Zest of an orange 

Brandy to taste 

Method: 

Beat the oil and sugar and then gradually add the orange squash or yogurt and eggs one by one. Then add the remaining ingredients into the mixture. 

Place in a greased baking tin and bake in a preheated, moderate oven for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean. 

Note: For the sake of tradition, wrap a coin in a piece of foil and press it into the mixture before baking. The person who finds the coin, will have good fortune for the year.
