Now that we're all set, let's dive into creating the Persian Love Cake!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (160°C fan-forced) and line your cake tin with baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together until they're beautifully combined. It should be light and fluffy.
3. Add the XL eggs, one by one, while continuing to beat the mixture. This ensures everything is well incorporated. Then, introduce your yoghurt, adding 2 tablespoons of water to the mix.
4. Now, it's time for the star of the show: the Persian Love Cake Mix. Gently fold it into the batter until everything is evenly mixed. The batter will be thick and rich, promising a decadent treat.
5. Pour this luscious batter into your prepared cake tin. Slide it into the preheated oven and let it work its magic for 45-50 minutes. You'll know it's ready when a chopstick inserted in the middle comes out clean. The aroma will also be your sweet confirmation!
6. Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool down completely. This is the perfect time to make your Rosewater Icing.

1. In a small bowl, combine the Icing Mixture with the Rose Water provided in your kit. Add the Rose Water little by little until it's fully dissolved. If the icing seems too thick, you can add a bit of water or a few drops of lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency.
2. Now, spread this fragrant and delicate icing over your cooled cake, or divide it among cupcakes if you're going for individual treats. To add that extra touch of elegance, generously garnish with the Rose Petal & Pistachio mixture included in your kit.

• If you prefer cupcakes, simply follow the same steps to prepare the cake batter. Then, distribute the batter evenly into cupcake papers, filling each one about two-thirds of the way up. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a chopstick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool them down and let your decorating skills shine.

• Want a creamy frosting? Whip up 250ml of cream with the icing and rosewater.

• Craving a two-layered cake? Divide the batter between two 20cm cake tins, reduce the baking time to 30 minutes, and layer with your choice of frosting.
• If you have a silver-coloured cake tin, use it over a black one for a lighter crust.
• Bake the cake the night before and decorate just before serving for the freshest flavour.
• Store your baked cake in an airtight container below 20°C for up to a week or freeze it for a longer shelf life.
