Full length video on how to make my favourite Greek cake: Portokalopita. Made by shredding filo pastry into tiny pieces, they are layered up with an orange yoghurt custard and baked. Drenched in a cool sugar syrup, the texture isn't disimlar to a lemon drizzle cake. Just a million times more delicious. Have a go, the ingredients list is below and the full recipe is in my book Taverna.
