Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon rosewater

1/2 cup whole milk

1 and 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

For the Rosewater Buttercream:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons rosewater

2-3 tablespoons whole milk

For Decoration:

Fresh raspberries

Edible rose petals (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Oil and flour two 8-inch round cake holder.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking pop, and salt.

In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs, each in turn, blending great after every option. Mix in the vanilla concentrate and rosewater.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to overmix; you want the raspberries to remain mostly intact.

Partition the hitter similarly between the pre-arranged cake skillet and smooth the tops.

Prepare in the preheated broiler for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick embedded into the focal point of the cakes tells the truth.

Permit the cakes to cool in the prospects minutes, then move them to a wire rack to totally cool.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the rosewater buttercream. In a huge bowl, beat the relaxed spread until rich.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add the rosewater and 2-3 tablespoons of milk to achieve the desired consistency.

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of rosewater buttercream on top of one cake layer.

Put the subsequent cake layer on top and glaze the whole cake with the excess buttercream.

Decorate the top of the cake with fresh raspberries and edible rose petals, if desired.

Slice and serve this exquisite Raspberry and Rose Cake to enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
