Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Rose water
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Rose water (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Edible rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and rose water until combined.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and rose water in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
Optional: Garnish with edible rose petals for an elegant finish.
Slice and serve your beautiful Rose Lemon Glazed Cake. Enjoy!
