Portokalopita is pronounced “por-to-kah-lo-peeta” and the name actually means “Greek Orange Cake” (portokali means orange and pita refers to cake in Greek).
Portokalopita is an old-fashioned Greek orange cake made with orange zest and greek yogurt or sour cream, with crumbled, dried fillo folded into the cake batter. It’s known for its zesty orange flavor as well as its sticky sweet texture thanks to the orange-flavored syrup poured over the baked cake.
Portokalopita is best served at room temperature and goes beautifully with a bit of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or all by itself!
