Made my #vasilopita today...aka Billy Pie. It's a cake (bread) made for Jan.1st aka St. Basil's Day.
As the New Year rolls over, Greek families all over the world will share the tradition of cutting the Vasilopita, our Greek New Year’s cake. January 1st is the name day (saint’s day) of Aghios Vassilis (St. Basil), the Greek Santa Claus, and the cake is named in his honor. While Christmas is a more solemn occasion, January 1st is filled with celebrations and the exchange of gifts.
However it’s fixed, cutting the Vasilopita is a celebration of wishes for the new year.
Each Vasilopita is baked with a coin or medallion hidden inside which, according to tradition, will bring great good fortune in the new year to the person who gets it, so the cutting is all-important and the focus of great scrutiny!
Ive tweaked the recipe/made it easier. Head over to [link in profile] for the recipe:

I will share the decorated cake later.
