Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp rose water
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tbsp of the rose water.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the 1.5 cups flour with 1.5 tsp baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the 3/4 cup milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

  5. 5

    For the frosting, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with the remaining 1 tbsp rose water until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Spread the rose cream over the cooled cake. Garnish with fresh rose petals and green leaves if desired. Slice and serve.
