This home-made vasilopita celebrates the Greek tradition of welcoming the New Year with sweetness and gratitude. Baked with organic flour, sugar, and eggs, it is enriched with almond powder, walnuts, fragrant vanilla pod, and a few drops of cognac. Finished with a delicate topping of glazed sugar and sliced bergamot spoon sweet, it is simple and heartwarming. The recipe comes from my personal notebook, gifted years ago by a generous friend. May it bring warmth, joy, and good fortune.
