Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tbsp ghee ( or butter)
6 tbsp olive oil (light)
1 cup sugar
5 eggs (large)
1 cup yogurt (thick, Greek style, reduced fat)
2 tbsp rose water
2 tsp green cardamom (ground)
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup semolina flour ((I use Bob's Red Mill brand))
2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tbsp almonds (sliced)
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tbsp rose water
1/2 tsp saffron (ground)
2 tbsp pistachios (slivered)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine oil and ghee together. Add the sugar and whisk it all together until creamy.
  • Then add eggs, one at a time and whisk it very well.
  • Next add the thick yogurt and whisk it all together into a fluffy mixture.
  • Add rose water, ground cardamom and stir it in.
  • Sift the almond flour, all purpose flour and semolina flour, one by one and lightly whisk it in.
  • Sprinkle baking powder all over, add pinch salt and incorporate it very well into the mixture.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased 10 inch springform cake pan that has been lined with parchment paper in the bottom.
  • Tap the bottom of the cake pan on the kitchen counter to even out the cake batter. Scatter the almond slices all over the cake batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes until it is golden on the top and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup.
  • Combine honey and orange juice and bring it to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Then stir in the rose water and ground saffron into the syrup. Turn off the heat and add the pistachios.
  • Using a thin wooden skewer or a sharp pointed kitchen knife/utensil poke fine holes all over the cake.
  • Pour the warm syrup over the warm cake and let the syrup soak in for several hours or overnight.
  • Decorate with fresh or dried edible rose petals and more slivered nuts. Serve with rose water cream if you like (see blog post).

  • Persian Almond Cookies. Traditionally known as Ghorabieh Tabriz, these Persian almond cookies come from a Persian region famous for their pastries and baked goods.
  • Persian Ice Cream with Saffron and Rosewater (Bastani) This is the first of many recipes that’ll include either saffron or rosewater, and it’s as beautiful and as colorful as it is yummy.
  • Halva. This soft, crumbly dessert will remind you of fudge in appearance, but its flavor is sweeter and has a hint of nuts. Want to save this recipe? Enter your email below and we'll send the recipe straight to your inbox!
  • Persian Chickpea Cookies with Pistachio and Rosewater. These super thick cookies are vegan-friendly, gluten- and dairy-free, filling, and have less than 100 calories per serving!
  • Saffron Zulbia. The only way I can describe this dish is to say it’s like a sweeter, crunchier, more ribbon-like funnel cake. If made correctly, it’s also beautiful and seems almost to glow when the light hits it.
  • Persian Raisin Cookies. I have to wonder if Little Debbie got the idea for their Raisin Creme Pies from Persian raisin cookies because that’s almost exactly what these are, without the cream filling.
  • Ranginak (Persian Date Cake) With only butter, flour, sugar, dates, walnuts, and various spices, you can make this yummy, slightly messy, and hard-to-describe Persian cake in only 30 minutes.
  • Persian Love Cake with Pistachios and Rosewater. If there’s one thing I love about Persian desserts – aside from how tasty they are – it’s how beautiful they look.
  • Persian Saffron Pudding. This is another gorgeous dessert in which you use saffron. The saffron turns the pudding a striking golden color. It’s gluten- and dairy-free, and it’s vegan-friendly.
  • Yazdi Cake (Persian Cardamom Muffins with Rosewater) These small muffins are soft, fluffy, and not too sweet. They feature cardamom, rosewater, almonds, and pistachios, which give them the traditional Persian flavor.

Published Aug 15, 2021
  • Faloodeh Shirazi (Persian Rosewater Granita) Unlike the Sicily-style granita that most people are familiar with, Faloodeh is a frozen dessert prepared with vermicelli rice noodles drenched in a syrup of rosewater and lime.
  • Masghati (Persian Rosewater Confectionery) Some foodies describe Masghati as a sweet marriage between jello and gummy bear. In essence, it’s a traditional confection mostly from a starch mixture.
  • Noon Khamei (Persian Rosewater Cream Puff) Noon Khamei is a delightful Iranian puff pastry. The crispy, golden shells are loaded with fluffy whipped cream.
  • Persian Love Cake. Legend has its that this delicate dessert was once baked by a love-struck girl with the magical power to win the love of a Persian prince.

  • Bastani Akbar Mashti (Persian Saffron Ice Cream) What sets this Persian ice cream treat apart from the crowd is the unmistakable taste of saffron. This luxurious spice plays an integral role in Iranian cuisine, and for good reasons.
  • Kachi (Persian Halva Pudding) It’s safe to say that every Middle Eastern cuisine has its own version of halva. For example, halva as a dessert from Egypt differs a lot from this Persian-style halva.
  • Khoresht Mast (Persian Yogurt Stew) The term “Khoresht” merely translates to stew in Iranian, but this dish is actually a dessert or appetizer. The original recipe calls for rosewater, saffron, sugar, yogurt, and an uncanny ingredient: crushed lamb neck meat.
  • Sholeh Zard (Persian Saffron Rice Pudding) An age-old Persian recipe to switch up your rice pudding game, Sholeh Zard is a quintessential dessert that you’ve never tried anywhere else.
  • Sohan (Persian Saffron Brittle) For anyone who plans to set foot in the holy city of Qom, Sohan is the most wonderful souvenir that you can get. Thanks to a distinctive combination of nuts, flour, and spices, this saffron brittle has a rich, sweet taste and a heavenly aroma that’s simply irresistible.
