Directions
Rose-Lemon Glazed Cake, A spring-summer dream come true, perfect for bridal showers, afternoon tea, or a decadent breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea This recipe comes from The California Cook: Casually Elegant Recipes with Exhilarating Taste by Diane Rossen Worthington The active work time includes making candied rose petals — if you don’t intend to make that part, subtract about 20-25 minutes from the active time , I opted out of the rose petals part of this recipe, but was definitely attracted by the LEMONYNESS of the cake, so I did use a very rounded measure of lemon zest in the cake & was generous with the lemon extract, too, but then I do love lemon! Shared this with neighbors as well, & they were much impressed! Thanks for a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef], Well, I can’t say much more than Thank you! I made this for my Bird, and WOW did she ever thank me for it! used a spring-form bundt pan, and roses from our rose bushes The directions are written well and easy to follow We didn’t use the candied rose petals, as the thought of raw egg-whites sitting out for 12hours at room temperature kinda scared us off The flavor of the cake didn’t have as much lemon as I expected, UNTIL I added the wonderful glaze icing! The flavor of the rose water was definitely there It was wonderfully subtle and mild This cake was so deliciously moist!!!! I didn’t have as much glaze as I expected, so there was no need to re-baste at all It was a perfectly proportioned amount Again, thank you so much for sharing this fabulous recipe! ~Buddha
