This turmeric lebanese cake recipe uses Pine nuts which adds flavors and taste to this turmeric cake, but if you don’t have it you could try using almonds. Also this cake uses tahini paste and blossom water do not skip it. If you don’t have at home or could not locate it you could use rose water. This shall elevate the taste and flavor of the cake.
