How to make cake yazdi?

Instruction:

1. To prepare the cake yazdi recipe, first pour the eggs together with sugar in a suitable bowl, then mix the ingredients with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until their texture becomes elastic and their color is almost creamy.

2. After mixing the eggs and sugar well, add the liquid oil to the bowl and stir a little until the oil is uniform with the other ingredients. Next, we combine baking soda with yogurt separately.

3. Now add the mixture of yogurt and baking soda to the ingredients in the bowl and mix with a mixer for 1 minute until they are uniform with the other ingredients.

Next, add cardamom powder along with rose water and honey and mix them for 1 minute.

4. At this stage, we turn on the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius so that it heats up well, Then we combine the flour with baking powder and sift it once.

Next, pour the mixture of flour and baking powder into the sieve again.

5. Now, we sift the flour and baking powder over the ingredients in the bowl and mix the ingredients slowly from one side with a spatula until the cake batter is completely uniform.

Next, for more convenience, we pour the cake batter into a disposable pastry bag.

6. Now, we put the special Persian cupcake capsules in the muffin mold. Next, pour the cake batter into the capsules. Note that because of the large puff of this cake, we have to fill the molds halfway.

7. At this stage, we place the muffin mold in the middle of the oven and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes. When the cakes are puffed up, reduce the oven temperature to 180 degrees and allow another 10 to 15 minutes until the cakes are golden and cooked.

At the end we remove the mold from the oven and let the cakes cool down, then we put them in the dish we want.

Baking this cake is connected with customs and rituals in Yazd, and serving it in most religious ceremonies, funerals, weddings, and Nowruz Eid, along with Persian tea, nan nokhodchi,shirini keshmeshi, kolompeh, is an obligatory part of the reception.

• Follow the order of mixing the ingredients. Mixing this order may cause your cake to harden.
• If you pour the cake ingredients directly into the mold, you must grease the mold but try not to put too much oil around the mold because the cake absorbs this oil and lowers its quality.
• Before the cakes are cooled, do not stack them on top of each other because the heat in them will make the texture of the cake dough.
• Observe the baking time of the cake. If it stays in the oven for 20 minutes, do not open and close the oven door for 20 minutes because this will make the puff cake fall asleep.
