Description

This Easy Cardamom & Rose Water Love Cake is a fragrant, romantic dessert perfect for special occasions or cozy evenings. Combining delicate floral notes with spiced warmth, it’s both comforting and elegant.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp rose water
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • Optional garnish: edible rose petals, crushed pistachios, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups (190g) of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) of sugar until light and fluffy—this should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 2 room-temperature eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder and 1 tbsp of rose water.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Once completely cool, garnish with edible rose petals, crushed pistachios, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Use fresh cardamom pods for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake. If the cake browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
