Excellent, intense flavour. I coated pieces of chicken thigh in the ras-el-hanout, fried them with some garlic and onion, added a can of chickpeas and simmered everything for about 20 mins. It was very good with flat bread and a dollop of yoghurt, and even better the next day.
I hosted a morning tea for 11 women and the Persian Love Cake was a huge hit. It was the first time I had made it and it was simply delicious, so moist and beautifully fragrant. Such a beautiful aroma in the kitchen too while it was baking. I made it last night as directed for optimal flavour, then decorated it this morning. I already had the dried rosebuds to adorn the top of the cake.
I purchased the Love cake as an appropriate gift for my sister and brother-in-law’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. They were thrilled with the gift and said the cake was delicious.
We love this recipe and buy the pack regularly for special occasions or just make cupcakes for school lunches.
Delicious cake, always a treat and so simple to make & gift.
Highly recommend.
I am a big fan of this premium Egyptian Dukkah and other spices in their collection. Love the mix, and the service from Exotic Bazaar is exceptional. Love supporting this Aussie business. I will continue to buy their products.
I’ve bought and made Exotic Bazaar’s Persian Love cake several times now - both original and gluten free. I add lemon juice to the icing but that’s my only addition. There are always compliments from both adults and children and barely a crumb is left. Can’t ask for more than that!
