Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) rose milk (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp rose water
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and rose milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Tap pans lightly to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
  10. While cakes cool, beat the cream cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix well.
  12. Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture, then add rose water and vanilla extract. Adjust rose water to taste.
  13. Once cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting evenly over the top.
  14. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake smoothly.
  15. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the frosting.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best mixing results. Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid toughness. Whip cream to soft peaks only to prevent turning into butter. Chill the frosted cake to set the frosting and make slicing easier. Use a serrated knife and wipe blade between cuts for clean slices. Rose syrup can substitute rose milk by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon rose syrup. For dairy-free, swap butter with vegan margarine and heavy cream with coconut cream.
