  • 2 large eggs
  • 120 ml (½ cup) milk

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake – Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in milk and rose water. Gradually fold in dry ingredients until smooth. Pour into pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before glazing.
  2. Prepare the Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, rose water, and coloring until smooth and slightly thick. Pour over cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.
  3. Decorate – Sprinkle crushed pistachios and dried rose petals around the edges. Place sugar roses or edible flowers in the center.
