Notes
Oven temperatures and timings differ for each oven. Keep a close eye while baking the cake.
Instead of rose syrup, the cake can be served as it is with just chopped pistachios on top.
If the cake is not absorbing the syrup, poke a few holes and then sprinkle the syrup.
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
Don’t let the cake mixture wait for long once after folding in. That could impact the rising of the cake.
