Greek cake without mahlepi ... does not work!
I am of the same opinion. Mahlepi spice, it is typical for Greek Easter bread. Otherwise cake as it is anywhere in the world ...
Only from comments I heard about mahlepi, but I have no idea what flavor or taste there. Where to buy?
Mahlepi, seed plant rock cherry Prunus. This is a kind of cherry, often found as cherries or Machlepokerasia. It grows in many parts of Europe and the Mediterranean, such as Southern Europe, Central Asia, North Africa, Morocco, South Belgium, Germany and north-western Pakistan.
Taste of bitter almonds reminds mahlepi and cherry. Using ground or pimple like to emphasize the sweet taste of traditional cakes. Add cake, cake and sweets in general.
On mahlepi, contains an ingredient coumarin, which is soothing and anti-irritant activity.
Senjak, I tried to help, but the translation is Google and get this ...Mahlepi is actually ground seed of this kind cherry nadyavyam to've been useful. There is a specific flavor, like a bitter almond flavor taste.
