I read a story about Saint Phanourios which mentioned that Greeks bake a special cake, called a Fanouropita, on August 27... hoping to harness the saint's powers and find lost objects. I haven't lost anything, but the cake's ingredients and vegan simplicity were attractive. Indeed, it was done in one hour. A very tasty option for breakfast! Here's is the recipe I used.

Ingredients 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup brown sugar 1 tbs baking powder 1 tbs cinnamon 3 tbs sesame 2 tbs vanilla extract 1 tsp salt (or less) 3/4 cup fresh orange juice 3/4 cup vegetable oil Powder sugar Process Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray round or bundt pan with avocado oil and dust with flour; remove excess. Mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, sesame seeds and sugar. Add oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Transfer the tick mix into pan and slowly kneed it in to take out air pockets. Bake it at the center of oven until golden, about 40 minutes for bundt pan. Insert a wooden toothpick to the cake; it should come out clean and dry. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes and then dust it with powder sugar for presentation (optional).
