Romantic Persian Love Cake Recipe with a Story

February 8, 2023 by Faith Leave a Comment

Persian Love Cake is a moist, aromatic cake flavored with rose water, orange flower water, nutmeg, and cardamom.

For the most part I gravitate towards fish or veggie-based meals, so I don’t blame my hubby at all for being completely impressed (actually, shocked is probably a better word) when he came home to this lovely roast beef one day....
