Cardamom Pistachio And Rosewater Eggless Cake Using Yogurt

Cardamom, Pistachio Rosewater Eggless Cake is made using Yogurt

Cardamom, Pistachio and Rosewater Eggless Cake (using Yogurt) is lightly flavored and a perfect companion to a hot cup of tea/coffee or parties. Team India qualified for the semi-final round!!!! So, we have decided to celebrate our next cricket-watching session with Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea and this Cardamom, Pistachio and Rosewater Eggless Cake . The cake is one of our absolute favorites because of its fragrant – light flavor that goes fantastically with a hot cup of tea….. I’m not talking just about any tea, but India’s finest ‘Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea’ which is famous for its exquisite aroma and superior taste. I’m also glazing (icing) the cake in a marble design using icing sugar and chocolate and a sprinkle of thinly chopped pistachio. Along with the cake, we are also making our:

Stuffed Samosa Curry Buns

Shrimp & Potato Croquette

In all of our previous cricket parties, we have been noshing heavily on savory dishes, and this time, the ladies have decided to each bring some sweets too and I’ve been assigned to get a cake. As I mentioned above, I’m going to make this gorgeous-looking cake – which is reserved for special occasions.

Cardamom, Pistachio and Rosewater Eggless Cake Ingredients:

All-Purpose Flour Cardamom Powder Pistachio Pods – chopped into bite-size pieces Rosewater Yogurt Olive Oil Sugar – or any sugar substitute of choice Baking Powder Baking Soda Pinch of Salt Vanilla Extract

Icing & Decoration :

Powdered Sugar Rosewater – use as per choice Cocoa Powder Chopped Pistachio Pods Chopped Dry Rose Petals

The cake is super easy to make and doesn’t involve any heavy cream-based icing hence it is perfect for tea or parties where we are usually doing finger-food/light dishes. Since we are including rosewater in the cake, I also added some dried rose petals which make it look so exotic. Also, since many of our friends are vegetarian/vegan, I’m making an eggless version this time. If you’ve never made an eggless cake, then this is a great recipe to try as it’s a small quantity and yields a moist cake.

To make the eggless variety, I’m using a vegan brand plain yogurt instead of eggs. The yogurt is store-bought, however, you can use homemade yogurt too. But the only thing to remember is that the yogurt should be ‘plain’ as we will be infusing it with cardamom and rosewater later.

Also, as I mentioned above, I’m adding some crushed dry rose petal on top once I’ve glazed the cake. The rose petals add such a beautiful touch to the whole cake, however, if you don’t have dried rose petals, you may simply skip the step for this time. If you’d like me to tell you about making dry rose petals at home, then do let me know and I’ll create a separate post about it.

And go ahead and make this delicious Cardamom, Pistachio and Rosewater Eggless Cake for your next cricket party. And cheer for your team along with a hot pipping ‘Taj Mahal’ tea and don’t forget to say “Wah Taj” !
