About this recipe

Rose, cardamom, and pistachio are perfect combinations 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 are 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 cake 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 have tried this cake with almonds and they taste equally good.

Do try this eggless rose cardamom and pistachio cake. I am sure this light, nutty, fragrant cake will be your new favourite.

Eggless rose cardamom and pistachio cake

Step by step instructions

Grease the bundt pan and add a few sliced pistachios.

Whisk together yogurt and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add baking powder and baking soda to it and set aside for 5 minutes.

Once the yogurt becomes frothy, add oil, rose essence, cardamom powder, and salt.

Add pistachios and combine gently.

Add flour in batches and mix gently until all the flour is incorporated well.

Spoon the mixture into the bundt pan.

Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the cake is completely done. To check, insert a skewer in the center and see if it comes out clean. Baking time varies depending on the oven and also the pan used.

  • Preheat oven at 180 C (360 F)
  • Grease an 8” bundt pan with some oil. Add a few sliced pistachios and set aside
  • In a small bowl mix 1 teaspoon flour to the pistachios and combine well so that they are thinly coated with the flour. Set aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add baking powder and baking soda to it and mix gently. Set aside for 5 minutes

      Hi Priya, Yes this cake batter can be used to bake cupcakes. Line or grease a cupcake tin, fill half the liner and bake in preheated oven for 12-15 (keep an eye on them after 12 minutes). Hope this helps.
