Step aside Persian Love Cake, I'm still amazed that a blender recipe can deliver such wonderful flavours that complement each other so well! I followed the recipe to the letter, and took some creative license with the rest. I baked each layer for 35 minutes and cooled before brushing over the glaze topping for that sheen finish. I decided to sandwich the layers together with a butter sugar icing – the type mum made when I was little. I flavoured the icing with rose water and tossed in chopped pistachios and rose petals for that added texture. To finish, I scattered rose petals along the edges and pistachio dust in the centre – I love that the topping glues it into place! Suffice it to say, it was a hit ... thank for sharing another keeper! Rash Kaur
