Rose Flavored Sponge Cake

Rose sponge cake

I am obsessed with making Indian flavored cakes. I invented this rose flavored base to go with most of my Indian dessert-inspired cakes. It also makes for a great tea time snack. Made with the simplest of ingredients, this aromatic cake is buttery, floral, and definitely will satisfy your sweet cravings. 

What you will need:

IngredientsQuantity
Baking Powder1 teaspoon
Cake Flour500 grams
Eggs8
Rose Essence1 1/2 teaspoon
Salt1/3 teaspoon
Sugar500 grams
Unsalted Butter500 grams
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45-60 minutes depending on your oven
Servings: 16. Makes two 9 inch cakes. 

How to make it:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature.
  • Grease a baking pan with some butter and dust it with flour. This will ensure that your cake does not stick.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy in a stand mixer or with a hand blender.  
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat until all of the sugar is dissolved. 
  • Sieve in the flour, salt, and baking powder together.
  • Gently fold it in the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the cake batter in the greased baking pan, once everything is mixed well. 
  • Bake in the oven until the center is almost done and a toothpick comes almost clean. 
  • Let it cool completely before cutting. 
  • You can enjoy this buttery, floral cake as is or use it as a base for other cakes.
