Karydopita (Greek: καρυδόπιτα 'walnut pie') is a Greek dessert cake made primarily from walnuts and soaked in syrup.[1]

There are several variations of the dish. Common additions include orange zest, cloves, brown sugar, and spiced rum or cognac.[2][3]

It is one of the most common glyka tapsiou - dessert dishes like pies and breads baked in baking pans. Other common desserts of this style are galaktoboureko, amygdalopita and kadaifi.[4]
