Recipe for Raspberry Rose Dream

Step 1: Make the Raspberry Layers

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, milk, raspberry puree, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Rose Cream

1. Cream Butter and Cheese: Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add Sugar and Rosewater: Gradually add powdered sugar and rosewater, mixing until well combined.
3. Lighten the Cream: Add heavy cream and beat until the frosting is light and spreadable.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. Layer the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of rose cream on top.
2. Add the Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining rose cream.
3. Decorate: Garnish with fresh raspberries, edible rose petals, and a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
