No mention of what size glass, as is typical of Greek cookbooks.] Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar. Dissolve the soda with the brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the ground cloves. Then very gradually add the flour, stirring constantly. Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the mixture. Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40-50 minutes.
