#fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #fypシ #aggelikiskouzinagr🇬🇷💙💯 #greecetiktok #2025#vasilopita * 3 ½ cups sifted, all-purpose flour * 2 teaspoons baking powder * pinch of salt * 1 cup unsalted butter, softened * 2 cups white granulated sugar * 6 large eggs * 1 tbsp orange rind, tightly packed * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 2 tbsp cognac or brandy see notes * 1 cup milk * 1/3 cup icing sugar for dusting the top of the vasilopita * Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set rack in middle.
 * In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking powder and salt.  Mix together with a whisk or a fork.  Set aside.

3 ½ cups sifted, all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, pinch of salt * In the bowl of an electric mixer, slowly and not higher than medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat until well combined and smooth, approximately 4-5 minutes.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened, 2 cups white granulated sugar * To the sugar and butter add the eggs, one at a time.  Beat well after each egg is added.  Then, add the orange rind, vanilla extract and cognac.  Mix well.

6 large eggs, 1 tbsp orange rind, tightly packed, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tbsp cognac or brandy * Slowly add one cup of the flour to the bowl of the electric mixer.  Mix at low speed. Then, add the milk and the remaining flour.  Mix well, over low speed to prevent too much splattering. When the ingredients have been combined, continue to mix gently for a another minute or two.  Your batter should be smooth and without any lumps. See Recipe Note.

1 cup milk * Take a 10 inch round baking pan and grease the bottom and sides with a thin layer of vegetable oil.  Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
 * Take a silver coin (usually a quarter) and wash it well.  Dry the coin and then wrap it in securely in food grade plastic wrap or aluminum foil.  Set aside.
 * Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.  Smooth out the batter so it is spread evenly in the pan.  Using a knife, make an indentation in the batter in order to make it easy for you to slip the coin in.  Be sure that the coin does not poke out the top of the vasilopita batter.  Smooth the top once again.
 * 

 * Bake your vasilopita in the middle rack of your oven for approximately 60-70 minutes. You can check that it is done by inserting a clean toothpick into the center of the cake.  If it comes out clean, with only crumbs attached to it (no wet batter), then your vasilopita is ready. Remember each oven is different, therefore, start checking your cake after 55 minutes to check for doneness.
 * Allow to cool in the cake pan for about 5 minutes and then remove it from the pan and allow it to cool fully on a cake rack.  Once it is fully cooled, sprinkle the top with some icing sugar, and serve.

1/3 cup icing sugar * Be mindful when serving the vasilopita to small children and the very elderly; the coin could be a choking hazard.
 * Enjoy, and Happy New Year!

🎥 The Vasilopita Tradition: A Slice of Luck and Blessings 🍞✨ Did you know that the Vasilopita, a special bread or cake baked for New Year’s, carries more than just delicious flavors? Hidden inside is a coin, and whoever finds it is said to be blessed with good luck and prosperity for the year ahead! 🪙💫 This beloved Greek tradition is rooted in the story of Saint Basil the Great, who symbolized charity and hope by baking coins into bread to distribute wealth. Today, cutting the Vasilopita brings families together, each slice carrying the anticipation of unexpected blessings. 💖 Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ The first slice is for Christ. 2️⃣ The second for the household or Saint Basil. 3️⃣ Then, each family member receives a slice, from eldest to youngest, each hoping to find the hidden coin! Whoever finds the coin doesn’t just get lucky—they’re reminded that life’s blessings often come in surprising ways. 🥰 Watch my video to see how this beautiful tradition unfolds and learn why it’s the perfect way to start the New Year with hope, joy, and gratitude. 🌟 Do you have a family New Year tradition?
