Persian Love Cake
  1. Blend Lemon & Sugar: Add chopped lemon and sugar to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, oil, pistachios, and rose water. Blend briefly—about 10 seconds—so pistachios stay a bit chunky.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add flour (plus baking powder if needed). Pulse only twice to avoid over-mixing. Finish folding with a spatula if needed.

  4. Bake: Pour into a greased loaf or cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for ~45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

  5. Icing: Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and rose water to desired consistency. You can add or lessen the amount of powdered sugar to desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.

  6. Garnish: Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and crushed rose buds. Enjoy
