• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Rose water (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Edible rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and rose water until combined.

Step 6

Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and rose water in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 12

Optional: Garnish with edible rose petals for an elegant finish.

Step 13

Slice and serve your beautiful Rose Lemon Glazed Cake. Enjoy!
