Taste is amazing, but you need to bake the phyllo before adding it to the dish, otherwise it tastes raw and stays soggy. Also, the syrup is a lot. I would use half, and save the rest to our over each portion as you serve it. I used a pizza cutter to cut the phyllo, then teared it into smaller pieces. But the color is wonderful, and the star anise adds just the perfect touch to the syrup. 4 stars, because the baking the phyllo step isn’t mentioned.

This is a wonderful treat! I substituted the sugar with a plant based sugars substitute. You cannot taste the difference. I also substituted the slice orange on top with glazed orange pieces. I will make this cake forever!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. My husband and I made this and it was delicious. Just a tip: we put the filo in the freezer overnight and it made it so easy to break up when frozen.

In reply to Adrienne. Hi Adrienne. It's 1 ¼ cup, meaning a whole cup and a quarter.

just making this but I dont think 300mls of orange juice is the same as a 1/4 cup!
I will have to see how it looks and use my judgement. We dont measure in cups in the UK but even I know this cannot be right )

Hi,
This cake looks delicious! I’m planning to make the cake for a birthday party. Can I make it a day in advance? If so, do I need to leave it in the fridge, or keep it at room temperature?
Thanks!

Amazing cake! It was worth all the time I spent in the kitchen tearing the phyllo sheets. De-li-cious!
