Exquisite Rose Milk Cake!

Exquisite Rose Milk Cake!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons rose water
• Pink food coloring (optional)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• Fresh rose petals for garnish
• Filling:
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 cup whipped cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon rose water
• Pink food coloring (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix in the rose water and a few drops of pink food coloring, if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, granulated sugar, rose water, and a few drops of pink food coloring, if desired. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with a third of the filling. Repeat with the remaining layers.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with fresh rose petals.
