Pistachio, lemon and coriander seed cake
This flavour combination really works – give it a try
OLA O SMIT
With a bright and almost citrusy aroma, coriander seed works so well to make this oh-so-easy pistachio lemon cake sing. It gets even better the day after you make it, the subtle flavours becoming more pronounced and the texture squidgier.
SPICE SWITCH: Use the ground seeds of 8 green cardamom pods instead of coriander and add a splash of rosewater to the icing.
In A Whisper of Cardamom: Sweetly Spiced Recipes to Fall in Love With (Murdoch Books, £26), food writer and cook Eleanor Ford explores the creative use of spices in sweet dishes. These recipes from the book highlight the varied combinations that help to unlock distinctive flavour and fragrance.
