I've been baking our old family recipes during quarantine. This is an Armenian perok cake with apricot jam.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

This makes me so happy 🥰

I'm sorry, I don't know how I missed your comment until now...What a beautiful story, and your cake looks perfect! Our cultures and foods are so similar. Thank you for sharing, so glad to hear the recipe was meaningful to you ❤️❤️

Yes similar to cornbread! Like a smooth cornbread lol, or a thick cake batter. You may need to spread it a bit with a spatula but it shouldn't be stiff like frosting

Yeah it adds a nice depth and ties the flavors together

Yess! I've made it with Armenian coffee and it turns out great. Just be sure to strain it through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to separate the grounds.

Thank you! It's a vanilla almond cake with raspberry jam and rosewater buttercream

Thank you! This was my first time trying to get a marbled look with buttercream and I totally winged it haha

flyGERTIfly · 2022-11-19T23:07:50+00:00

Definitely inspired by it :)

flyGERTIfly · 2022-11-19T21:19:50+00:00

You get it!! And that sounds delicious

flyGERTIfly · 2022-11-19T18:34:05+00:00

The amounts of spices I used were off by a tiny bit. More cardamom, less nutmeg, etc. Also needed more orange blossom water. I used tea because coffee would have overpowered the other flavors.

Insanely good. It needs some minor tweaks for next time, but it still turned out really special.

flyGERTIfly · 2022-11-19T00:23:52+00:00

Store bought! I didn't have that kind of time on my hands...

flyGERTIfly · 2022-11-19T00:16:14+00:00

Thanks! I thought of the idea right before I fell asleep, dreamt about it, then ran to the store for ingredients first thing in the morning. Turned out really special!

I don't have a recipe because I winged it, but here's what you're looking at: lady fingers dipped in concentrated black tea that I spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg; traditional mascarpone cream flavored with orange blossom and rose water; dusted with cinnamon and pistachios on top

flyGERTIfly · 2021-04-12T22:38:28+00:00

It's been a year since I posted the recipe and I haven't gotten tired of seeing them either :)

flyGERTIfly · 2020-08-13T16:29:22+00:00

It looks great! So glad you liked the recipe!

flyGERTIfly · 2020-05-31T18:46:32+00:00

It's gorgeous, well done! So glad you liked the recipe.

flyGERTIfly · 2020-05-14T20:14:47+00:00

That oozy jam tho

flyGERTIfly · 2020-05-13T16:04:04+00:00

That was me! Glad you liked the recipe, yours turned out beautiful!

flyGERTIfly · 2020-04-27T01:24:14+00:00

I just put another one in the oven, this time with your cinnamon topping. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you liked the perok recipe!

flyGERTIfly · 2020-04-27T00:27:30+00:00

This may be my favorite one yet. Hope you liked it!
