Indulge in Exotic Elegance with Pistachio Rosewater Cake

Today’s Unique Dessert: Pistachio Rosewater Cake

In the mood for something exotic and luxurious, I decided to create a new dessert that combines the rich nuttiness of pistachios with the delicate floral notes of rosewater. This Pistachio Rosewater Cake is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 200g shelled pistachios, plus extra for garnish
• 150g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 200g butter, softened
• 200g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 100ml milk
• 1 tbsp rosewater
• 200ml double cream
• 50g icing sugar

To create this Pistachio Rosewater Cake, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• food processor
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• round cake tin
• electric mixer

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a round cake tin. In a food processor, blitz the shelled pistachios until they resemble fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the rosewater. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the tin.

In the meantime, whip the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top and sides. Garnish with extra pistachios before serving.

This Pistachio Rosewater Cake weighs approximately 1200g once cooked, serves 8 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. Each serving is estimated to have around 400 calories.

One tip to make this dessert even more special is to sprinkle a little extra rosewater over the whipped cream before serving. It will enhance the floral aroma and add an extra layer of flavor to the cake.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this Pistachio Rosewater Cake as much as I did. Feel free to get creative with the presentation or add your own twist to the recipe. Happy baking!
