nigel slater recipes middle east

A couple of months ago I was looking for a cake to serve for Persian New Year that would have a slight Middle Eastern feel to it and came across this recipe from Nigel Slater which fit the bill perfectly. This is an amazing cake, moist and so flavourful with just a hint of the exotic from the subtle fragrance of the rosewater.  The simple icing with its slight lemon tang is the perfect counterpart for the cake. Whilst the cake is quite dense, as it&#;s heavy on pistachios and almonds, it&#;s not overly sweet and can stand on its own as both a coffee cake or a dessert.

Ingredients  Adapted from Nigel Slater&#;s The Kitchen Diaries

g butter
g sugar
3 eggs
g shelled pistachio nuts
g ground almonds/almond flour
1 orange, zest and juice
1 teaspoon rosewater (I used 1 tablespoon as I wanted the rosewater to be a bit more prominent)
60g plain flour
Chopped shelled pistachio nuts to decorate &#; optional

For the icing:
g icing sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
