Yazdi cake

Yazdi cake is a cake native to Yazd in central Iran and is mostly used in Yazd Province itself for different ceremonies. [1]

Its main ingredients are egg, sugar, solid oil or butter, white flour, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, baking powder, yogurt, milk, cardamom and if needed raisins and sliced up pistachio. [2]

In Iran, Yazdi cake is especially used during social visits and daily tea rituals: it is commonly served alongside hot Persian tea (chai) when guests drop by, embodying the tradition of Iranian hospitality. [3]
