Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon rose water
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Sliced almonds for garnish (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)


Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.


In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cardamom until well combined.


In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and rose water, and mix until smooth.


Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.


Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.


If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the cake batter for added texture and flavor.


Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.


Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.


Slice and serve the Rose Water Cardamom Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.


Enjoy the delightful combination of rose water and cardamom in every bite of this fragrant cake. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving something sweet, this recipe is sure to impress. Happy baking!
