This is a monastic fanouropita (Greek spiced raisin cake, in honour of St. Fanourios, patron saint of lost things. Greek housewives make this cake mainly on the day he is celebrated or when they want the saint to intercede to help them find something that is lost). I have found it in the St. Nektarios site, it is very simple to make and extremely tasty. The raisins and walnuts are what makes a difference! It is worth giving it a try...
