Eggless rose, cardamom, and pistachio cake

Eggless rose, cardamom, and pistachio cake step-by-step recipe with photos.

Rose, cardamom, and pistachio – a perfect combination to make a decadent Indian dessert. Then why not bake a cake by combining these flavours together. The fragrance of rose, the flavours of cardamom, and the nuttiness of pistachio is a perfect match. It’s absolutely amazing how a teaspoon of rose essence, a pinch of cardamom, and a handful of pistachios can take a simple eggless sponge to a whole new level.

I have earlier shared my love for tutti frutti cupcakes and how much I love baking them. This one is similar, with subtle changes. I bake this cake in a bundt pan as it imparts a nice crust all over the cake. You may choose an equivalent square or round pan to bake it too. Also, you may replace pistachio with nuts of your choice.

I am sure this light, nutty, fragrant cake will be your new favourite.
