Best Rose Lemon Glazed Cake Recipes

ROSE-LEMON GLAZED CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
• Sift the flour, baking soda and baking powder together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about four minutes.
• Beat in the eggs, zest and lemon extract, and mix for two minutes.
• Reduce the mixer to the lowest speed, add half the flour mixture, and mix until combined.
• Add half the sour cream, mixing slowly yet constantly, and then add the rest of the flour and sour cream.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cake rack.
• Next, make the glaze. Using a wire strainer, sift the powdered sugar into a small non-aluminum bowl.
• Add the juice and whisk to break up any lumps.
• Place the cake on your cake plate (which must have a lip!).
• While the cake is still warm, using a long skewer (or just a toothpick), poke holes all around the top of the cake, stopping an inch or so shy of the bottom.
• Spoon-drizzle the syrup over the cake. If you have time, keep re-basting the cake with glaze that pools on the plate.
• For the candied rose petals: Pinch off the bitter, white section at the base of each petal.
• Whisk egg white and water together. Dip each petal in egg mixture or gently brush both sides each petal.
• Place petals, convex side down to drain on wax paper.
• When drained but still damp, sprinkle both sides with sugar. Shake off excess, place on fresh waxed paper and dry at room temperature for 12 hours.
• Store in covered container in refrigerator. Good for about a month.
• Note: these egg whites are not cooked, so use whatever needed precautions for raw eggs (always best to use the freshest eggs possible).
• Serve each piece with a few candied rose petals, or serve the whole cake at the table with rose petals sprinkled over and around it.
