Pistachio Cake with Pomegranate Glaze

Add a pop of pink to your Rosh Hashanah celebrations! [logo]( Bake of the Week Pistachio Cake with Pomegranate Glaze [hero]( Sarah Jampel Test Kitchen Manager As much as I love baking and developing new recipes, when it comes to the Jewish holidays, I can be a stick in the mud. I'm attached to the particulars: wine-tinged charoset and Manischewitz matzo balls on Passover; Baltimore-style bagels and noodle kugel for break fast; lacey latkes on Hanukkah; doughy prune [hamantaschen]( in the synagogue kitchen on Purim; and my mom's sour cream apple cake (with chocolate chips) for Rosh Hashanah. All of which is to say, it takes a lot for me to add a different recipe to my holiday menus, and this [Pistachio Cake with Pomegranate Glaze]( has earned its place. Developed by LA-based food writer Tannaz Sassooni, the recipe relies on a suite of Persian ingredients — pistachio, rose, and pomegranate — for flavor, fragrance, and beauty. The batter is more pistachios than flour, yielding a cake with a nubby-yet-tender texture that's reminiscent of a rich [almond cake](. The nuts are ground in a food processor with sugar and orange zest before the rest of the ingredients are added straight to the machine. Pistachios not only lend their gorgeous green color, but also their grassy, fresh flavor, which is heightened by olive oil and brightened by citrus. A touch of [rose water]( offers a floral note that makes the cake feel precious and complements the pomegranate glaze. (Why pomegranates? In season now, they're a prominent Jewish symbol and an element of the Persian Rosh Hashanah seder.) So yes, my Rosh Hashanah spread is expanding to include yet another worthy dessert: It will take pride of place right next to my mom's apple cake.
