by Camelia
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Portokalopita is a Greek dessert cake made primarily from filo pastry and covered in a sweet syrup.

This recipe owned to Andreea Grecu and I made it to participate at @cremosso_romania challenge.

I can tell you that was my first attempt to make this kind of cake and I was impressed.

Definitely this recipe deserve a try, and I will make it again.
