Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Rosewater
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 100 grams Fresh raspberries
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and rosewater.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of water until smooth. The consistency should be thick but pourable.

Step 11

Once the cakes are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the tops of each cake.

Step 12

Optional: Garnish with dried rose petals for an elegant touch.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
