Years ago I took a cake decorating class. When it came to preparing the pans the instructor had us butter and then instead of flour use granulated sugar. It gave a nice finish to the sides for decorating, especially those fluted pans or the character pans
Tip for the cardamom. Roast in a pan on low heat on the stove until very lightly brown. Then grind down with pestle and mortar. The roasting process really helps make grinding easier, and the flavour gets more intense.
@@Jeena-cb6yn not long. A minute maybe. You have to watch closely and make sure it doesn't get too brown. You should move them around so they brown all over. Once golden/lightly brown remove from pan. If you don't have a pestle and mortar you can even roll it with a rolling pin on a chopping board. But it won't get as fine.
@@aaliakhan4326 thank you, that's incredibly helpful! I am making this for my friend tomorrow. Have you made this cake yet? If so, would love some tips
@@Jeena-cb6yn I'm so glad to have helped ☺. All the best, I'm sure it will come out great👍. I live in Japan and we don't have proper ovens like in the US or UK. I have a microwave/oven that's the size of a large microwave. It broke this weekend so unfortunately I can't bake until sorted 😥 . But with any baking, get out all your ingredients in right amounts before you begin, and follow Sally's recipe exactly. Her recipes that I've tried always come out great.
I cut down to recipe to 1/3 and made a small cake. It was so rich in flavour and the best tea cake I've had so far. My kitchen was filled with the aroma of lemon, rose and cardamom. This is definitely the best recipe. I also reduced the almond flour by 20g and replaced with Apf. The result was still great!
Hi. I too thought for just me & my hubby maybe a visiting friend the cake was too big. I saw you comments saying how you cut it down with the ingredients. I’m a little old in yrs could you help me with the measurements you used please 🙏 to make the smaller size. I know you said by a 1/3. But I’m absolutely useless with numbers etc I would really very much h appreciate your help with h you measured this out. Many Thanks 🙏
I actually have a different version of this recipe for my great-grandma She was never a big cake person, I just wish I got to make it for her before it was too late I can’t wait to merge the two recipes together, it should be great Doing a great job sally, keep it up
I’m persian and I say you always can ise cardamom instead vinalla! We have lots of sweets with this magic ingredient! Also use it in tea and enjoy your cake!❤️❤️
lovely & was actually watching vintage episodes of nigella christmas yesterday and she made a bundt cake like this too. looks so yummy...who doesn't love a bundt cake?!
I've justt begun cooking with cardamom having gone 45+ yearsd of my life having no idea what it was let alone what to do with it. Now i kind of use it SO many recipes where cinnamon would be the primary spice. I LOVE it.
On every other channel they would just pour the syrup over the cake like a savage, only Sally is such a sweet refined thing and uses a brush to evenly distribute it all over! Love you for that!
Hi I love ❤️ your videos. Everything is absolutely explain in every detail. One can’t possible go wrong following your excellent videos. Love the Persian cake 😍❤️
@@GradyBroyles you have many ways to use that . A easy way is putting some boiled water on saffron and then add 2-3 ice cubes to have a perfect colour and smell of saffron . Then you can put that into your cake batter in last step . Good luck 😍🌺 .
I'm baking the 🎂 now as I type this. 😊 I cannot wait to finish and try it. I don't have any pistachios or the flowers but I'm sure it will be just as good.
I'm persian and a fan of you☺️ and I need say something about this cake. We have something just similar to this cake and we call it baklava cake, with a big difference: we pour a cup of sorbet ( water and sugar) on cake and wait for absorbing. Anyhow thank you to share this recipe , I'm sure it's great ☺️
@@aasiyasuleman8574 trust cupcake jemma blindly They dont eyeball a recipe nor provide you a google searched recipe... Sally tests the recipes 3-4 times before she brings out the recipes... And pumpkin spice is their bakery star... so it will be a authentic c&d recipe SO, GO FOR IT !👍 ALL THE LUCK
Safran, pistachio and rose water are the persian cuisine legends. Let's try some saffron in your syrup and inside your cake, and put some dried rose petals on top of your cake. Then it would be truly persian cake 😉😊.
Looks yummy 😋 as always! Love watching the videos for your genuine happy smiley reactions Sally. Stay safe and hope to come back & see you guys sometime soon x
Instead of the rose syrup try a lemon+saffron+sugar syrup. The lemon and saffron add a lot of depth and character. Saffron is a must for this persian cake ;)
I think this could be one of those things that got passed back and forth between European and other countries throughout history and the source of it has kind of been lost. The Wikipedia page for "Love Cake" indicates that it's a cross between Portuguese and Sri Lanka recipes.
I have seen Love cakes in Indian cookbooks so it was weird to hear it was Iranian. Maybe they just read rose petals, pistachios, and cardamom and immediatly thought of Iran idk.
I took this into the office today and it was a great success. I was kind of hoping some people would be put off by the fragrant flavours so there’d be more for me, but no such luck. 😂
Hi Sally thank you for this great recipe I am from d Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago to be exact and we love cake in d lovely sunshine we have and d rain too but I don't really like rose water can I use smthing else to make d syrup to put on d cake and thank you. Stay safe Sally come visit out beautiful island smtime . God bless stay safe
Yum! Another excuse for using my organic , non-irradiated ground cardamom ❤️ such a underestimated spice, along with rose water ( my absolute favorite flavor for my macarons) Thank you Sally!!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe 🤗
With fan assistant you mean and electrical oven with the fan on? I have an oven that you can put on electrical or electrical with fan so I think the latter?
Where do you get your crystalized rose petals?!? I'm in the states. I tried them at the store in covent garden two years ago and I haven't been able to find anything similar since!
I've never tried rosewater in anything. For me the thought of rose as a flavor takes me back to grandma's bathroom and that fake rose smell from potpourri. I do love the smell and taste of cardamom though, first had it when I made some pfeffernusse cookies. I guess I need to try something with rosewater in it at some point in time. It looks yummy!
If you find you don't like the perfume-y rose flavor (I don't either) you can use saffron instead to get a floral scent without feeling like you're eating potpourri!
In Indian desserts we use cardamon alot.. so a very easy way I do is to grind the cardamon seeds with sugar... and voila it's fine powder
Thanks for the tip!
@@mindfulbaking most welcome 😊
Thank you for sharing such a good baking tip.
Thanks for the tip! I had to grind cardamom the other day and it was a right pain!! 🤓 Thank you for sharing! 😁🙏
@@thecalicoheart7946 in some desserts i like to use he seeds whole
its usually when i have to infuse the liquid with the flavour like in kheer

This woman has the nicest voice and accent I have ever heard. I would listen to literally any audiobook done by her.

How many minutes would you do this for rougly?

When Sally was brushing the cake, it's so bouncy! So cute. Bet it takes so nice! If I get hold of the ingredients, I'll definitely try this.

What an amazing recipe! Thanks a million for sharing Sally!
I'm Persian/ iranian and make this Persian love cake all the time. Thanks for making it.
Ok. Here is Sally again showing off her breaking eggs skills :D Love the recipe and Sally is amazing (as always).
Yes she's my favourite adorable Sally 😍
Sally: eating a cardamom pod will probably ruin the taste of your cake
Every south Asian ever: 👀👀 trust us we knooowwwww
RELATABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha for sure
I've justt begun cooking with cardamom having gone 45+ yearsd of my life having no idea what it was let alone what to do with it. Now i kind of use it SO many recipes where cinnamon would be the primary spice. I LOVE it.
😂😂 the whole cardamom saga when eating Biryani!
@@apan4201 HAHAHA Llolololo
Been wanted to make a Persian Love cake for ages.Thank you so much Cupcake Jemma.
Hi Sally. I made this cake today and it ended up gorgeous. Moist and rich in flavour. Thank you so much for the recipe ❤❤
That colour🥰 just by seeing this it makes me have a better day🥰❤❤
Hello! Have a happy day!
Hello! Love the fact that you offer general explanations along the way. Love your energy. Going to try it. Thanks
On every other channel they would just pour the syrup over the cake like a savage, only Sally is such a sweet refined thing and uses a brush to evenly distribute it all over! Love you for that!
Ground cardamom is a basic ingredient in Scandinavia. I allways put it in soft buns for birthdays and in the dough for cinnamom rolls etc. 😊
Always a pleasure to watch Sally! She's so amazing:)
Wow the colour look fab u am your number 1 fan I have baked your recipes before love them x
Oh wow! I’m so excited to try this recipe, probably one of the best cake recipes on here!
Hello cupcake jemma loving I really enjoying all the baking you and your team do lots off love xxx
OMG! I was looking for a recipe for this cake 2 days in a row! Thanks, guys! 💕
We are baking this cake for Persian new year....can’t wait to bake with the almond flour. Such a pretty cake.
Omg I made this cake and it actually turned out soooo nice 👍 thank you so much 🌸😘
I'm here to enjoy listening to Sally's cute accent!
Hi I love ❤️ your videos. Everything is absolutely explain in every detail. One can’t possible go wrong following your excellent videos. Love the Persian cake 😍❤️
So easy to make. I love to add Cardamom in anything sweet, being an Indian. Thanks for the recipe!
Watching Sally always bring a smile to my face.. Keep up the good work. Take care!
Thank you x
This cake has been on my mind for a couple of days so this video is a pleasant surprise!
I recommend you grind them with the shell on. The shell makes it sweet and amazing. I'm Iranian if that counts xD
Not only does it looks delicious and beautiful I bet it taste so good!! Also I have the exact cake tester with the heart!!!!
I'm a persian guy and i think this beautiful cake need some saffron ☺️
I’ll give it a try! Thanks x
Hi Efroan, how would you used the saffron in it? I'm super curious

“You don’t know who has been touching your lemons” lol, Sally is the best! luv it!
Mini cakes can be a wonderful surprise for guests! 🎊🎁
In nordic baking we use ALOT of cardemom in bundts and such🙂 it adds a sweetness
Thank you so so much for bringing in such exotic flavours in this cake I am absolutely loving it!!!!!
Thank you for the recipe , I’m from Iran 😍 🇮🇷
Thanks Sally for this amazing recipe. Your taste test reactions make me hungry 😋 !
Sally is an amazing Baker and her beautiful smile. 😊😁
“You don’t know who’s been touching your lemon!”
It wouldn’t be a proper video without sally cracking two eggs at once! 🥚 🥚
Pistachio is always a win in my book!
I'm baking the 🎂 now as I type this. 😊 I cannot wait to finish and try it. I don't have any pistachios or the flowers but I'm sure it will be just as good.

Delicious 😋 great to see more stuff on your site 😊
Yayy!! That persian love cake sounds very delicious😍😍
Well done Sally you really good
Oooh yummy!
I caint wait to do this thanks for the lovly video
Instead of the rose syrup try a lemon+saffron+sugar syrup. The lemon and saffron add a lot of depth and character.
Saffron is a must for this persian cake ;)
Is beautiful but I want to know did you brush all the sugar syrup on the cake or you use only little bit thanks
Love all of your vids
Wow! This looks so so delicious 😋 will definitely try this at home Thankx beautiful lady 👩 love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I'm falling in love with your bundt tin Persian love cake lol! Great video!
If you have a $15 coffee grinder (blade grinder) at home, that works great as a spice grinder.
Lots of love for posting 💕 this recipe, luckily have all the ingredients
as a Persian, I've never heard of this cake but sounds yum even though I'm not sure if its actually from Iran.
it's probably more the flavours than the actual cake itself, guessing.
I think this could be one of those things that got passed back and forth between European and other countries throughout history and the source of it has kind of been lost. The Wikipedia page for "Love Cake" indicates that it's a cross between Portuguese and Sri Lanka recipes.
I have seen Love cakes in Indian cookbooks so it was weird to hear it was Iranian. Maybe they just read rose petals, pistachios, and cardamom and immediatly thought of Iran idk.
@@silog21 there are overlapping flavours in Persian and Indian cooking and we both do use a lot of nuts in our sweets so it’s very possible.
This is in my oven right now! I did add a tiny amount of saffron.
I liked the video even before it started. Coz i just know it will be goooooooddddddddddd
Love you guys and all your recipes 😋
I love it!!!
Thank you for sharing. This has given me a few ideas for Christmas gifts - a yummy foodie gift🥰
Do you use block butter for this? Can you also please recommend brands which soften well!
I really like to try it. thank you❤️
Nice channel 👍🏻
This is very impressive 🙃
Such a beautiful cake. Love it 😍
I took this into the office today and it was a great success. I was kind of hoping some people would be put off by the fragrant flavours so there’d be more for me, but no such luck. 😂
Love cakes 🎂
Can I substitute the almond flour with anything? I have a nut allergy x
Hi Sally thank you for this great recipe I am from d Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago to be exact and we love cake in d lovely sunshine we have and d rain too but I don't really like rose water can I use smthing else to make d syrup to put on d cake and thank you. Stay safe Sally come visit out beautiful island smtime . God bless stay safe
There's no better feeling that coming up with a recipe then tasting it thinking damn it's sooo delicious 😎😬
Can I make this with just almond flour? Or substitute the flour for another type of flour? :)
Thank you for the recipe. Wondering if it would be ok to substitute the butter with oil?
Yum! Another excuse for using my organic , non-irradiated ground cardamom ❤️ such a underestimated spice, along with rose water ( my absolute favorite flavor for my macarons) Thank you Sally!!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe 🤗
Could I make this in a loaf tin? If so, would I have to modify the recipe?
Wow its so deli soups
Any suggestions as to switching out the almond flour? Oat, coconut flour? Anaphylactic to nuts 😬 but I'd love to try this!
That looks gorgeous ❤️
poppy poppy is the best way to the best of the best in the world and the best way everything is to be best in the world 🌍 is the best way
Love to make this cake in grain free version 😋
With fan assistant you mean and electrical oven with the fan on? I have an oven that you can put on electrical or electrical with fan so I think the latter?
Very nice cake dessert Gemma! What is the size of your baking form? Have a nice day and good month! 👍👏🍴

If you find you don't like the perfume-y rose flavor (I don't either) you can use saffron instead to get a floral scent without feeling like you're eating potpourri!
Also, you can always reduce the amount of rosewater you put in. If you could source out a quality product, it probably won't be as synthetic either.
Just add a tiny tiny bit.
Use orange blossom water instead of rose water more delicious
For orange blossom water use one tablespoon
My moms boyfriend is from Iran and he makes some very good food with rose water in it.
Hi Sally and Jemma. I cant have rose water or crystallised rose petals. Well Rose scent or flavouring in General what can l swap this for please.
Gotta try this one!!
2 videos in 1 week ohh how I am spoilt !!!
can you use any cake batter in bundt pans or are certain recipes required?
This looks soo good
Sounds interesting 👍🌹❤
