This is eliopita a delicious Cyprus olive cake. It can be made as a bread, which I also do. But the cake version is much quicker to put together. And very tasty.
Many people add sesame seeds to this, but I add sunflower seeds and they add a nice crunch.
I think this is vegan, if you grease the tin with plant based butter or oil.
Enjoy the video, even though my voice over sounds a bit muffled in parts! I’m not sure what’s up with the microphone! Xx

I’m curious about the addition of orange juice. It seems counterintuitive as it’s a savoury cake

I can’t really explain, it’s how we’ve always made it. A lot of savoury Cypriot pastries have orange juice in the mix. I think it’s more of a background note than a prominent flavour.

Orange juice in these recipes is like coffee in chocolate cakes. It really boosts the taste.

What can l use instead of orange juice TIA

Some people use fizzy orange like Fanta instead of juice. But sprite is also used. If you don’t like anything like that you could use sparkling water.
