This gorgeous cake not only tastes great but smells divine too! The aroma of the dried rose petals with the nutty flavour of pistachio works wonders in this delicate Rose Pistachio Sponge Cake!

Ingredients (Makes two 8 inch sandwich tins)

• 200 grams Caster Sugar
• 230 grams Butter
• 230 grams Self-raising Flour
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp Rose Extract
• 1 tsp. Baking Powder
• 2 tbsp chopped Pistachios
• 2 tbsp dried Rose Petals
• 1 tbsp of pistachios and rose petals each to garnish

Sugar glaze

• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• Warm water

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 160 degrees fan oven.
• Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy for 5 mins.
• Add lightly beaten eggs, Rose extract and beat for 2 minutes.
• Add flour and baking powder (beat for less than 1o seconds in medium speed). Fold everything in with a spatula.
• Gently fold in 2 tbsp chopped pistachios and 2 tbsp dried rose petals
• Bake for about 25-30 mins (if in sandwich tins) or 45 minutes (if in deep pan) or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• Invert in a wire rack and let it cool completely.
• Prepare sugar glaze by mixing 1/4 cup icing sugar with enough warm water to thin it enough so it is spreadable. Spread this glaze over cake layers.
• Garnish with dried pistachios and rose petals

You can serve this cake with or without buttercream.

Buttercream flavouring idea - Flavour your buttercream with rose extract instead of vanilla extract.
