Köy keki (Cyprus village cake)
Köy keki (kuh-y keh-kee) means 'village cake' in Turkish. It is fluffy and delicately sweet, with chopped almonds and walnuts adding a delightful texture and nutty depth of flavour. The generous addition of orange and lemon zest brings a refreshing citrusy brightness to the cake , making each bite feel light to eat. Using a Bundt tin helps bake the cake evenly and is recommended for this recipe. Traditionally, köy keki was baked in large round pans in a wood-fired adobe oven
