Portokalopita, the greek orange cake!

Portokalopita
A fragrant and moist cake made with phyllo, yogurt, and orange syrup, Portokalopita is a unique and delightful dessert. Some story on how I discovered it... 

Years ago, when I have visited the greek island of Leros, a kind lady gave me the recipe of "patsavouropita" - a typical desert of their island. I made it immediately when I have returned home but at some point with time, I've lost the recipe, which I regret. Much later on, a similar cake "portokalopita" became very popular in Greece. Often tourists taste it at the end of a dinner at a restaurant or taverna as a treat and they just love it! 

I profit from this revival to gather various recipes from family, friends and online (thank you all!) and end up with my own. Here's my favorite that thanks to my blog I will keep for the years to come and I will pass it to my children :) Click on Read me more link below for the recipe.
