Greek Walnut Cake


Greeks Call this KARIDOPITA.  It is a moist walnut cake with syrup poured over it instead of frosting.

2 cups bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup milk
1 cup corn oil
4 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp orange flavoring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Put all ingredients in one bowl and mix well.  Batter will be loose.  Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2” pan.  Bake for 30 minutes. 

While cake is baking, prepare syrup to be poured over cake after baking.


Boil:  1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and 1 tsp. orange flavoring until clear.  Cool and pour over hot cake.
