Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the rose water.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into a greased round cake pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Making the Syrup
  1. While the cake bakes, combine the milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add the rose water and food coloring. Set aside to cool.
Assembly
  1. Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes in the top using a skewer or toothpick.
  2. Pour the rose milk syrup over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
  3. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Slice and serve.

Notes

For extra moisture, brush the cake with leftover rose milk syrup before serving. Consider topping with whipped cream and edible rose petals for a stunning presentation.
