Dimitra! I love lemon flavour in cakes, cookies and sour iceing, so I’ll try your recipe out for sure. I’m pretty curious how it’s gonna taste with olive oil. Never had it before. Still my mouth is already watering 🤤🤗

Hi i love the look of this cake may i ask a stupid question but if i was going to bring to someone if i cover it with foil how long should i wait? will it make cake go funny?

Hi Dimitra, this cake looks awesome! I'm definitely going to try to make it.
I was just wondering, do you have a recipe for Kunafa? I think in Greek it is "Κιουνεφέ"?
In any case, thank you for all of the great videos and recipes!
