Kaak (Persian: کاک, Southern Kurdish: کاک) is a native pastry of the Kurdish city of Kermanshah of Iran.[1][2] Kaak has a thin, fragile and roll appearance that is produced out of flour, eggs, cardamom, and cinnamon oil and is covered with powdered sugar on it dried nuts such as almonds and pistachios and coconuts to the ground.[3] Also, a type of pastry similar to Kaak called Yokheh is cooked in Shiraz.
