Description

This Persian sponge cake is an aromatic pastry that gets a special touch from the addition of rose water and cardamom. The cornstarch ensures a particularly soft texture. After baking, the cake is soaked in a cold syrup, which makes it juicy and flavorful. Ideal for brunch or as a sweet treat for afternoon tea. Preparation takes about 170 minutes.
