1/2 cup almond meal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs

Rose petals and powdered sugar for garnish

Syrup Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, cardamom, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in yogurt and orange zest.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in chopped pistachios.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, make the syrup: Combine sugar, water, and orange juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sugar dissolves, then stir in rose water.
As soon as the cake is out of the oven, pour the syrup over it. Let it soak in.
Garnish with rose petals and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Once cooled, serve the Persian Love Cake as is or dusted with powdered sugar.
For added flavor, top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chopped pistachios.
