Summary: Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a young woman was madly in love with a Persian Prince, so she baked him a cake filled with magical love powers to make him fall in love with her. In one version of the tale, the cake works its magic and the Prince returns her love, but in another, he doesn't Either way, the Persian Love Cake is a symbol of undying love, with enchanting flavours of rosewater, cardamom and saffron. Perfect as a Valentine's Day celebratory cake, the Persian Love Cake has also become a popular choice for wedding cakes.
This is our take on the Persian Love Cake: first, we make it gluten-free by using a combination of ground almonds and ground pistachios with no flour at all, secondly we incorporate orange juice and zest into the cake, and finally, to make the cake just that little bit healthier, we skip the icing, and make a cake drizzle that has no added sugar, as the cake is sweet and lovely enough. The result is a moist, nutty, fruity, floral, enchanting, magical cake, fit for charming any Prince (or Princess).

Summary: Vegetables in cake are a brilliant idea, carrot cake deliciously proves this fact. As I write this, I wonder who made the very first carrot cake … They were a genius, opening the road for generations of creative cooks and bakers to experiment with vegetables in sweet cakes, like beetroot in this chocolate cake.
Now, fear not, the beetroots in this cake are not overpowering at all, instead, they beautifully complement the chocolate.
Try replacing the rice flour with coconut flour and use honey for a Paleo Chocolate Almond Beetroot Cake.
