Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup rose syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh rose petals for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 6-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the creamed mixture, alternating with milk and rose syrup. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Divide batter evenly among pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
- Assemble cake: Place one layer on a plate, spread whipped cream on top, and repeat with remaining layers. Frost the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish with fresh rose petals.
Notes
- Use organic, pesticide-free rose petals for garnish.
- For a more exotic flavor, add a hint of cardamom or saffron.
