Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour (Can substitute with gluten-free flour)

1 cup Sugar (Coconut sugar for a healthier alternative)

3 large Eggs (For a vegan substitute, opt for apple sauce or flax eggs)

1 cup Milk (Almond milk is a great dairy-free substitute)

2 tbsp Rose water (Can replace with vanilla or almond extract)

1 cup Butter (Vegan butter for a dairy-free option)

4 cups Powdered sugar (Erythritol can be used for sugar-free alternative)

1/2 cup Heavy cream (Coconut cream works wonderfully)

1 tbsp Food coloring (Optional for enhancing visual appeal)

1 cup Edible rose petals (Elevate presentation)

1 cup Fresh fruits (e.g., raspberries) (Strawberry slices work beautifully too)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.

Step 3: Add the eggs, milk, and rose water to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Let the cake layers cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: For the frosting, beat the butter in a bowl until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Assemble the cake by frosting the first layer, placing the second layer on top, and continuing to frost all layers evenly.

Step 8: Decorate the top with edible rose petals and fresh fruits to add an elegant and fresh touch before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use vegan butter along with almond milk.

Adding a few drops of food coloring to the batter or frosting can enhance the cake’s visual appeal.

Experiment with different fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries for varied flavors and colors.

If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the powdered sugar in the frosting slightly or try a sugar-free alternative.
