1: Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two separate bowls. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and set aside.
2: To the egg yolks, add sugar, lemon zest, milk, and pistachio paste and whisk well. Add the flour, baking powder, and pistachio flour. Whisk well.
3: Gradually add the stiff egg whites into the mixture and fold in gently to keep as much of the air as possible.
4: Bake at 175C for 40 minutes.
5: Make the soaking milk mixture by whisking milk, condensed milk, and pistachio paste in a bowl.
6: Once the cake is cool, poke a few holes with a skewer and pour the milk mixture on top. Allow to set and soak in the fridge for 5 hours.
7: Make the whipping cream by whisking the heavy cream, icing sugar, and optional rose water in a bowl and top the cake evenly with the cream.
8: Top with extra pistachios and rose petals.
