Two-tiered Persian Love Cake (light vanilla-based cake with hints of lemon zest and rose water) lightly covered with rose whipped cream and topped with a cardamom glaze.
Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party when the meal is heavy and people want something lighter without heavy frosting for dessert.
The lemon zest and rose give it a lighter feel than vanilla cake without overpowering the taste buds. It’s great with the whipped cream that features a light taste of rosewater and the glaze which comes in with that stronger Middle Eastern cardamom flavor:
This is great for those immigrant parents who hate desserts that are “too sweet!” Significantly less of a heavy feel than American cakes.
