pregnant and craving this cake!! Thank you so much for this recipe!! it was DELICIOUS!! Just like how i remember. I altered it a bit and added a handful of dried mint. And Canola oil instead of the other oil mentioned. Since i live in america, i converted 2,1/2 cups flour. 2cups halloumi i put it in the oven for 50mins at 360F which i think is approx 180C - 28 Jan 2014
