I’ve been wanting to experiment with something like this for ages. I really love Lebanese food and this is a combination ingredients they use to delicious effect.
I took a basic cupcake recipe, swapped 45g of flour for ground pistachio nuts, added the seeds of three cardamon pods and replaced 1tbsp of milk with orange flower water.

The icing is cream cheese frosting with orange flower water instead of vanilla essence. The rose petals bring all the delicate flavours together beautifully.
one to make again for sure.
