Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Yazdi Cake Bites.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing the cups of a muffin pan, preparing for 24 delightful treats.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour and baking powder, then set this aside for later.
Step 3
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs and white sugar, placing the bowl over a simmering water bath.
Step 4
Keep whisking continuously for about 8 minutes, until the mixture transforms into a thick, pale concoction.
Step 5
Once removed from heat, continue whisking until it cools down, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 6
Next, gently incorporate melted butter, plain yogurt, ground cardamom, and fragrant rose water into the egg mixture, blending until smooth.
Step 7
Carefully fold in the flour mixture by hand, followed by the slivered almonds, ensuring everything is well combined.
Step 8
Spoon the luscious batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and finish by sprinkling the tops with chopped pistachios for a delightful crunch.
Step 9
Slide the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cakes feel firm to the touch.
Step 10
Enjoy the enchanting aroma that fills your kitchen as these treats bake to perfection!.
