Pistachio Rosewater Bundt Cake

Sharing is caring!

LOVE everything pistachio, cardamom and rose water. My most most most favorite combination of all. I combined these beautiful ingredients in this Pistachio Rosewater Bundt Cake. Two weeks ago, I made a Persian Love Cake for a friend’s anniversary and including her, everyone at the party devoured the cake to the very last piece..I mean crumbs. I know I will be writing up a post soon on that.

This Pistachio Rosewater Bundt Cake keeps well for up to a week and don’t confuse rose water with rose essence: the difference is huge. You want to use rose water here which makes the cake both distinct and delicious.

Rose water has a lot to offer, especially when paired with pistachios and/or cardamom. Ayurveda is also really big on rose water. As it states here, a warm cup of milk blended with rose petal jam is a nice soothing bedtime drink that will help you sleep! Goes to show it’s not only tasty but there are medicinal qualities as well. Rose petals help recondition the nervous system, helping to alleviate insomnia, fatigue, and depression.

In the mean time, why not enjoy this Pistachio Rosewater Bundt Cake which tastes very much like a Persian Love Cake…, may be more like a younger sibling. More Humble and more true to the taste. I made this Pistachio Rosewater Bundt Cake, because I was craving some tea cake and yes, lets not go to my cravings. I crave cake 7 days a weeks.

I made this cake egg free and butter free as well. Just because I love baking cakes with olive oil. And you ask whats wrong with eggs? Nothing really. But if I can get the same result without adding eggs, then why not, right? Don’t believe me…, try these other delicious bakes.
