skinnymixer’s Persian Love Cake

Persian Love Cake has been a recipe I have wanted to try for over 4 years, after a Skinnymixer suggested it would be a wonderful gluten free recipe for the blog. With Valentines Day around the corner, it seems like a fitting recipe to share with you all. I have included both dairy and dairy free options for those with dietary requirements. The story behind the name Persian Love Cake is also a beautiful, but tragic love story that you can read about here. I hope your loved ones enjoy this unique and delicious healthy Thermomix cake this Valentines Day, Love Nik xx

Ingredients

• 50 g | 1.8 oz raw pistachios, shelled
• 300 g | 10.6 oz raw almonds
• 100 g | 3.5 oz desiccated coconut
• 150 g | 5.3 oz coconut sugar or sweetener of choice
• 230 g | 8.1 oz greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
• 50 g | 1.8 oz butter or coconut oil
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 tsp nutmeg powder
• 2 tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 2 tsp rose water (optional)
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Grease and line a 22cm or 8" cake tin, I used a springform. Preheat oven to 160°C or 320°F fan forced.
2. Place pistachios in to a clean dry mixer bowl, chop for 2 sec/speed 6/MC on or until lightly chopped. Set aside.
3. Without washing the bowl, add 150 g or 5.3 oz almonds in mixer bowl, mill for 10-20 sec/speed 8/MC on, until almonds are a fine ground. Set aside.
4. Without washing the bowl, add remaining almonds and coconut to mixer bowl and mill for 10-20 sec/speed 8/MC on, until almonds are a fine ground.
5. Add reserved almond meal to mixer bowl with remaining ingredients, except for pistachios. Blend for 20 sec/speed 5/MC on. Scrape bowl down and repeat.
6. Pour batter into prepared tin and sprinkle chopped pistachios over the batter.
7. Bake in the oven for around 30 mins or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Grain free baking is dependent on individual ovens so adjust as required. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate for an hour before serving.
