Yazdi Cakes

Servings:

This Yazdi cake recipe was passed to me by my great-grandmother. They're light, and not too sweet. The cardamom and rosewater give it distinctive Persian-inspired flavors. They're best served with hot tea or coffee.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup muffin pan.
  2. 2 Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl; set aside.
  3. 3 Combine eggs and sugar in a large heatproof bowl; set on top of a pan of simmering water. Beat constantly with a whisk or electric mixer until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until cooled, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Mix in butter, yogurt, rose water, and cardamom. Stir in flour mixture by hand. Fold in slivered almonds. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Sprinkle pistachios over tops.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
