Jump to Ingredients

Making the Dough:

In a bowl mix Dry Ingredients and set aside:
1 1/2 cup (215 g) All-Purpose Flour
2 2/3 cup (270 g) Almond Flour
3 tsp (10 g) Baking Powder
1 tsp (5 g) Salt

2. In a separate bowl beat together:

1 stick (115 g) Unsalted Butter
1 cup (250 g) Sugar
Zest from 1 Lemon (about 1 tbsp)
12 pods of Cardamon. You should get about 1 tsp of Ground Cardamon Seeds

3. Continue mixing the Ingredients from previous step while adding 4 Eggs one by one

4. Mix in:

2 tsp Rose Water (I used this one)
1 cup (240 ml) Buttermilk

5. Now add Dry Ingredients. Make sure you not overmix the Dough

6. Transfer the Dough into a 10-inch (25cm) pan. Bake at 350F (175C) for about 45-50 min

Let’s make Frosting for our Love Cake!

7. Mix together:

1 cup (100 g) Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Rose Water
4-5 tsp Lemon Juice
Gradually add Lemon Juice to control the consistency of the Frosting. It will look transparent on a cake if it’s too runny

8. Separate the petals from edible dried roses. We recommend discarding yellow inner petals

9. Decorate the Frosting right away before it sets completely.

I also used Freeze-Dried Strawberries from Trader Joe’s since I didn't have Raw Pistachios at the moment and it worked fine

10. Enjoy!
