Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup finely ground pistachios
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon rose water (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon rose water (adjust to taste)
- Pistachios, chopped for garnish
- Dried rose petals (optional), for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the ground pistachios.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a fork or skewer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and rose water.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to fully absorb the milk mixture.
- In a large bowl, whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and rose water until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the rose whipped cream evenly over the soaked cake. Garnish with chopped pistachios and dried rose petals, if desired.
