Smell of rose is so decadent and romantic. Love the rose essence when added with milk or any dessert. Always wanted to make rose flavored cakes. Haven’t been able to find rose essence in the local grocery store close to where I live. Hence decided to experiment by using the rose flavoring I use with milk. It could be any of them like the branded ones or the ones that are locally made. I have used one of the gourmet rose flavoring made in my town in India. This flavoring has sugar already added to it. Hence I have reduced the sugar added in the cake mixture. You could you rose essence instead, but will need to add lil more sugar in the cake batter. This cake had intense taste of rose the day after I baked them. It is a very moist, buttery and eggless cake.
