Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

Yazdi cake is made using a combination of simple ingredients that include flour, sugar, eggs, cardamom, rose water, and baking powder. The use of cardamom and rose water gives the cake its distinctive aroma and flavor, which is characteristic of many Persian desserts.

The preparation of Yazdi cake involves mixing the dry ingredients, such as flour and baking powder, with the wet ingredients, including eggs, sugar, and rose water. The batter is then poured into small molds or cupcake liners and baked until golden brown. The cakes are typically small, individual-sized portions, making them convenient for serving at gatherings.
