Cake Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp rosewater
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Filling and Frosting
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the rosewater and milk.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and sprinkle fresh raspberries.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional raspberries.
