MEMORIES OF MACEDONIA ~ FANURIJA (Cake to Fulfil Wishes)

Fanurija is a sweet type of bread or cake that is made typically on the 9th of September to honour St. Fanurij the martyr if you have lost something or wish for something. The cake is usually made with the 9 ingredients and sliced in 9 pieces to be shared with 9 families or neighbours or friends. The slightly spicy cake with orange flavour is so delicious it makes for a light cake perfect with tea or coffee.
