Persian Love Cake—just the name alone pulls you in, doesn’t it? But this isn’t your average cake. It’s a fragrant, vibrant tribute to centuries of Persian baking tradition. The star of the show here is saffron, that luxurious crimson thread often called “red gold.” In Persian cuisine, saffron is revered not just for its brilliant hue, but for the depth and warmth it brings to both savory and sweet dishes. This spice has been prized for thousands of years, traded and fought over, earning its place in the most regal of Persian recipes, particularly desserts.
