Rose Of Lebanon Cake Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago This cake is very different to the usual pound cake recipes. It calls for rosewater, which you can find in Middle Eastern grocery stores (if not your regular grocery). You could also substitute orange flower water for the rosewater if desired.

This looks neat...I'm trying to remember which store I saw the rosewater in. Chickpea flour? Health food store!

This sounds so lovely - I am a huge fan of rosewater in cooking so this is perfect for me. Can I substitute the chickpea flour or should I venture out into the world and track it down?

Another interesting one, jo_jo_ba! I will find some chickpea flour and give these a try - they sounds delicious.

You can substitute the chickpea flour for regular or soy flour even, but the chickpeas add a nice nuttiness to the cake.
