Valentine's rose cake

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The taste of love is floral and sweet. The use of rose water dates back to Persian cuisine, but here it appears in a modern, light cake. Rose aroma consists of very intense, volatile compounds, so handle with care: one drop is heaven, two drops taste like perfume.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the pink batter: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, milk, rose water, and colouring.

Tip: Mix the rose water with the liquids to distribute evenly.
2 ✓

Bake at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.

Tip: Warm cake evaporates the aromas; the true flavour is tasted when cold.
3 ✓

Soften the mascarpone with the whipped cream and icing sugar. Fill the cake.

Tip: The fat content of mascarpone carries flavours well.
4 ✓

Cover with fondant and decorate with petals.

Tip: Do not wash the petals in lots of water or they will collapse. Just wipe them or clean with a brush.

Recipe FAQ

The rose flavour is too strong.
Unfortunately, this is hard to correct. The concentration of rose water varies by brand. Always taste the batter raw (just a tiny bit) before putting it in the oven!
