Armenian Cake with Nutmeg and Walnuts

Luscious, spicy, exotic and exciting – what more can you ask for from a cake.

Also known as an Armenian Nutmeg Walnut Cake or Armenian Spice Cake, one thing’s for sure – whatever you call it this cake certainly delivers a taste sensation.

When serving this cake, a scattering of bright green pistachios and something pink gives a great lift to its presentation. It’s quite a dark cake. I love the edible dried rose petals used in the photo. They add another touch of the exotic but dried cranberries work really well too.
