Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over medium heat while whisking it comstantly until thickened. Pass the cream through a strainer that has been set over a large bowl. Cover the cream with plastic to prevent a skin from forming and set aside to cool.
The pastry cream can be chilled in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Whisk it together until smooth before spreading it on top of the cake.

Add the olive oil and milk to the egg mixture and whisk together until combined. Add the lemon juice and whisk together.
Add the flour mixture in 203 batches and whisk on low speed until it is incorporated.
Transfer the batter into a greased 9 by 13-inch (25cm by 35cm) baking pan.
Bake the cake on the center rack for 30 minutes or until a toothpick that has been inserted in the center comes out clean.
Poke holes all over the cake using the toothpick and pour the cooled syrup over the cake. Set aside to cool for at least an hour.

I never cease to be amazed at your delicious recipes! I am so glad I found you on you tube! Thank you.
I made this 2 times, first time to make sure it turns out and it was delicious a and I only ate a few pieces and gave the rest away the young men I gave it to said it was the bomb! Second time I make I made it for about 50 people and served it with a vegetarian Greek meal, I got tons of compliments. Only thing I changed about this recipe was I added 2 tablespoons of butter to the pastry cream, it makes it creamier and doesn’t get so stiff after cooling.
My sister has a really tough job. She finally got some time off to visit. I already told her I'm going to roast some lamb chops and pan fry some potatoes for her. But I think I'll surprise her with this cake too. Wish me luck Dimitra, I hope it's to her liking!
That sounds like a wonderful menu!! She will love it :)
This is perfect! My elderly neighbor just gifted me a bag full of Satsumas and lemons from his yard! I made Satsuma jelly and will give him a jar to thank him, but now I can make this beautiful cake with some of his fresh lemons and bring him some.
Wow!! Fresh Satsuma lemons sound amazing.

Thank you!!
Yassou 🙏
👀 YUUUUUUuuuuuuMMMM 😅💞
Hi dimitra is there anyway I can use low glycemic sugar and or if I can reduce the sugar when mixed with the flour by half? Thanks love your recipes as always 💛🍰🎂🍮🧁☕️🥙
😋😋😋😋😋
Good send me a slice only joking ok thanks wow how good again thanks
Do you think I could make this with almond or cocnut milk for the cake and pudding? Also keto style for the cake, use coconut and almond flours?
Definitely will try this one! Suggestion: I put labels on my dry goods that show the conversion rate of cup to grams. EG Bread flour is 127g/1c, sugar is 200g/1c and so on. This makes it easy for me to weigh dry ingredients even when recipes call for using wet measures. I like the consistency I get from the conversion. Question: are you certain your casserole dish was a 9"x13" because it looked more like a 6"x10" (or similar size).
That's a great idea!! Yes, my dish was a 9 by 13-inch. I measured it :)
Yummy! I am eating with my eyes as I am a diabetic which sucks big Time!!!!**@%&*^#
👏🇬🇷💙
When I had gone to Greece I once had an orange flavored cake and another time one with coconut do you have a recipe for those kind of cakes.
Yes I have all of those. You can search them by typing my name and then the cakes.
I love your recipes🥰 can I cheat and buy store-bought box cake, add lemon zest and make the rest?
haha! I've never tried it but if you do, please let me know how the shortcut turns out :)
@@DimitrasDishes haha 😂 will do
Oh wow that is a delicious looking cake, I love lemon cakes. I need that in ,y life 😍😍😍
Me too!!
Can you make a keto version? Or a keto version of Vasilopita?
Hi, Dimitra! How much syrup you pour on the cake?
Hi Dimitra I’m in Melbourne Australia it’s 3am here I can’t sleep lol. I clicked in your videos only to see a new vid yay. Dimitra CZcams never lets me know when you post new vids 😔😩
Thanks so much for checking!! CZcams is not my friend...lol I post a few videos each week
Happy name day Dhmhtra
