Persian Love Cake has been a recipe I have wanted to try for over 4 years, after a Skinnymixer suggested it would be a wonderful gluten free recipe for the blog. With Valentines Day around the corner, it seems like a fitting recipe to share with you all. I have included both dairy and dairy free options for those with dietary requirements.

I hope your loved ones enjoy this unique and delicious healthy Thermomix cake this Valentines Day, Love Nik xx
