Dry the phyllo sheets and tear them into small pieces.
Whisk the yogurt-orange mixture and combine it with the phyllo.
Spread the mixture in the tray so the dry phyllo does not clump.
Bake the portokalopita in a 180°C oven for 40 minutes.
Pour cold orange syrup over the hot cake.
Rest the dessert for 30 minutes so the syrup spreads evenly.
💡 Tip: Pour the syrup while the dessert has just come out of the oven; when both are hot, the pastry absorbs the syrup quickly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
