Last year my wife went to visit a friend of hers in Dublin. She texted me to say she had just had the most amazing cake, I asked her to bring a slice back.
It was delicious, almonds, Cardamom and rose water in the cake and a sprinkling of pistachios and rose petals on top.
A little google sleuthing and it appears it was Yasmin Khan’s Persian Love Cake. Well I fucking hope it was as that is what I have just made and seems appropriate as it’s our wedding anniversary today.
Made a couple of tweaks to the recipe. I wanted to add ground pistachios to the cake itself so froze some and then ground in food processor (freezing is meant to help avoid turning them to a nut butter). Had some saffron from a trip we made to Morocco a few years ago so that went in too. Couldn’t buy rose petals so took a rose flower from our garden, removed the leaves and cooked in an oven at 95C for ten mins.
Just waiting for her to finish work so we can have tea and cake.
