This is an awesome cake!! Years ago I worked in a Greek restaurant and the owners made this cake for the help only. It took me years to find the recipe. Love Cooks.com, love this cake. I made it for my brother for his b-day he said it was the best cake he's ever had-he's right!! I didn't add the walnuts though because it wasn't in the original recipe.
