Vasilopita the traditional New Year’s Eve Greek Cake

We baked our Vasilopita a few hours ago, (added the coin) so this gives me plenty of time for cooking. This traditional Greek Cake is basically found on every Greek table on New Year’s Eve. My family cuts the Vasilopita once we give our best wishes to each other for the New Year a few minutes after the clock strikes midnight. Most might already know that Greeks add a coin into the cake and who every finds it in his/her piece has Good Luck for the whole year.
