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