Anne Wightman, a member of the training team for NMS Docent Training made this multiple flavoured, grainy and of course aesthetically so pleasing cake during one of the early days of our training. She has gladly shared her recipe here. Her original recipe did not have rose flavor but I added it into the syrup because pistachios and rose somehow just go together.

​Ingredients (for a 21cm high cake)
75gm unsalted butter, softened
75ml canola oil
175gm shelled pistachios
50gm unsweetened desiccated coconut
125 gm plain flour
2 tsps baking powder
​A pinch of salt
4 medium eggs, room tempertaure
200gm castor sugar
​Finely grated zest of 1 lemon (keep the lemon for juice)
​3 rounded tbsps of sour cream

​Ingredients (for the syrup)
​Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
3tbsps caster sugar
200ml cold water
​1 tsp rose essence

​Ingredients for decoration
​1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
​1/2 cup dried rose petals
