Middle Eastern rosewater cake
I am having a little love affair with rose water. You can find it sometimes at a grocery store or at a specialty Mediterranean shop. Not a bad find locating this cake recipe. I did not like the icing it came with online but, I think the ganache icing will taste much better! It is just slightly more work. I have pictures with and without both icings and with my rose petal silicone sheet.
Middle Eastern rosewater cake
I am having a little love affair with rose water. You can find it sometimes at a grocery store or at a specialty Mediterranean shop. Not a bad find locating this cake recipe.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Assuming you have already made self rising flour. Preheat oven to 350 farenheit. Grease and flour eight 1-cup (250ml) decorative moulds (non-stick pans are ideal). Or if you are very lucky you may have rose silicone trays which are nice to use. Make sure you use an oil spray first and adjust your timing for cooking.

Place the 1 cup oil, 1-1/2 cup caster sugar and 2 eggs in a bowl. Using electric beaters, beat until well combined. Stir in 1 cup yoghurt, and 1 Tbsp of Rose water, followed by 2 cups self-rising flour. Stir until combined.
- 3
Divide the mixture among moulds. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean for the ceramic ramekins. Cook for 15 mins for the rose silicone sheet. I used air bake on my Cosori oven fryer. Cool slightly in moulds, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

For icing, choose which one you would like - this is direction for plain icing: place icing sugar in a bowl with remaining rosewater and colouring.
- 5
Use a wooden spoon to gradually stir in enough warm water (about 2-3 teaspoons), to make a smooth, flowing icing. Turn out cooled cakes, then drizzle with icing and decorate with rosebuds, if using.(Personally I don’t like this icing)

Directions for making drip ganache: Chop the chocolate coarsely and put it in a heatproof bowl. Set to the side.
- 7
In a saucepan or kettle, heat the water until it comes to a low boil. Remove from heat and pour 6oz over the chocolate.
Mix with a whisk until the chocolate melts entirely, and you have a hot chocolate-like substance. Use less hot water if you like it thicker. Add the Tbsp of rose water. Mix.
Let the mixture cool, stirring every 10 minutes or so until it is of a consistency just right for whatever you want to do with it.

Hints- Very suitable to freeze & ice when thawed. I actually did that. Cooked mine in my airfryer. Hint of the rosewater, perfect and gentle. Also can be made with choc powder stirred lightly thru batter.

How to make self-rising flour at home is easy. Just use this basic formula: For every 1 cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl or put them in a glass jar and shake well.

Store your self-rising flour in an airtight container in the pantry. (Be sure to label it, so you know it contains a leavener.) Use within six months or the baking powder will start to lose its potency.

Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing
One of the reasons we fell in love with our house was the garden, with its fig, apple and plum trees. I think the plum variety is Jubilee, but she's a temperamental old thing and in recent years has flowered and fruited biennially.This year has been a fallow year. Usually by now I'd have made endless jars of jam (my favourite recipe being plum and earl grey), ice cream, crumbles, compote, and cake after cake after cake - anything to use up the vast quantities that fill every bowl we own.. But I've been more selective this year, buying just a few to eat or use as we choose rather than out of necessity.Having said that, I've made this cake three times this week, tweaking the recipe a bit here and there until it's just about perfect. Plums seem to take on a different personality depending on what you put them with - I do love a versatile fruit - and my favourite combination is plum and rose.I have a lovely recipe for plum and rose jam, which'll have to be put away for next year. You can see this here - https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2346821-plum-and-earl-grey-jam.Meanwhile, this cake is an excellent way to use up the last of the crop and works equally well with plums of all varieties and in all states of ripeness.

The Rose Family's Beetroot Chocolate Cake The Rose Family's Beetroot Chocolate Cake
This is an idea I got after first tasting beetroot cake in the States. It's not overly sweet, just the way our family likes it!When making a pound cake, please double the ingredient amounts and increase the baking time by 10-20 minutes. This is a zesty cake that's not overly sweet so please try icing it with some Rose Family-style cheese cream. The trick to this recipe is to finely cut the beetroot so that as little moisture leaks out as possible. Recipe by Roozukenodaidokoro

Lemon Kissed Angel Food Cake Lemon Kissed Angel Food Cake
Based on an Alton Brown recipe(https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/angel-food-cake-recipe-1938726)This is an airy, deliciously crumbed cake that is easy to make and easy to eat.I adjusted the original recipe in several ways. I reduced the water to 1/4 cup. Because I wanted to balance the sweetness after reading the comments at Food Network's site, I switched to lemon extract and reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. And I folded the egg whites into the flour, rather than the other way around.I made this for a neighbor who said she hadn't had a good angel cake in years. She approved. -
