There is a story behind the name that once upon a time there was a Persian woman madly in love with a prince. To make him fall in love with her, she baked him this cake, filled with magical love powers. The prince returns her love and they live happily ever after. Another version of the story is that the prince swooned over the cake but rejected the girl and she ended up eating it all herself.

There are a few variations of the Persian love cake. Typically it's baked with semolina flour, almond meal or rice flour, or even with regular white flour. But all versions will flavour the cake with cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, rosewater and saffron.
I decided to bake a gluten free version with pumpkin, adapted from DELICIOUS. It is a moist and rich cake made with almond meal, pumpkin and Greek yoghurt, scented with cinnamon, nutmeg, and rosewater, then finished with a tart lemon glaze and a final sprinkle of rose petals and finely chopped pistachio, that make it extra decadent and flavourful.
