directions
- Make the caramel: Place water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan. Do not stir the liquid.
- Bring to a boil until the syrup takes on a darkish-brown color.
- Pour a layer of the syrup into a large cake mold or into small individual aluminum containers and allow to cool.
- Make the cream: Bring the milk to a boil. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and the sugar adding in the salt and the vanilla.
- Continue to beat the mixture while slowly adding the warm milk.
- Pour the mixture into another bowl, passing it through a sifter to filter out any clumps.
- Skim out any foam left on the surface.
- Layer the cake mold or evenly distribute into the individual forms.
- Place molds into a deep pan and place in a water bath.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
- Make the Karydopita: Beat eggs and sugar until lightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the walnuts, bread crumb, cinnamon, cloves, and baking powder.
- With a wooden spoon mix into the egg-sugar mixture, folding in all the ingredients.
- Distribute evenly into the molds of the half-baked crème slowly in order not to disturb the consistency of the crème and continue to bake for another 35 minutes.
- Remove, cool to room temperature and chill for 5-6 hours.
- To serve, place the molds into hot water to loosen and invert the mold onto the service plate. If only one large mold was used, pour half a cup of water into it and bring the remaining sugar syrup to a boil and pour over the cake.
