Ingredients

For the cake

• 1 box of cake mix for white chocolate
• 3 eggs
• 1¼ cups of water
• ½ cup vegetable oil

For the rose frosting

• 400 g of butter at room temperature
• 3-3½ cups of powdered or confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of rose water (optional)
• Pink food coloring (optional)

If you don't have rose water, you can substitute it with extra vanilla essence or a drop of almond extract for a different but equally charming aroma. Pink food coloring is optional, just to give that visual touch to your frosting.

Utensils we will use

• Cake pan (can be round or square)
• Hand or electric mixer
• Large mixing bowl
• Spoon or silicone spatula
• Whisks or balloon whisk
• Pastry bag with a star tip (optional) but you can use a spoon or spatula to decorate
• Measuring cup

Preparation

1. Cake preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients. Make sure the eggs, water, and oil are at room temperature to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
2. Mix the dry and liquid ingredients. In a large bowl, place the white chocolate cake mix. Add the water, oil, and eggs.
3. Beat until combined. Use the mixer at medium speed and beat until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour into the pan. Lightly grease the pan and pour the mixture evenly.
5. Bake. Place in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check that it comes out clean, a sign that it's ready.
6. Cool. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove it to finish cooling on a wire rack.

2. Rose frosting preparation

1. Beat the butter. In a large bowl, beat the butter at room temperature until creamy and white.
2. Add the powdered sugar. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, beating at low speed to prevent it from scattering, then increase the speed until you get a smooth and airy frosting.
3. Add essence and color. Incorporate the vanilla essence and, if using, rose water and pink food coloring, beating until completely mixed.
4. Refrigerate. Place the frosting in a container, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using it to firm up.

To finish and serve

Spread or decorate the cake with the frosting using a spatula or piping bag. You can create a design with roses or dots reminiscent of petals, achieving an pink charm unforgettable. Refrigerate the cake so the frosting stays firm until serving. Ideally, accompany it with a mild infusion or coffee to highlight the delicate flavors.

I want to share these tips with you

• Butter temperature: Always soften the butter at room temperature; this will make the frosting creamy and not lumpy.
• Sifted powdered sugar: Sift the sugar to prevent lumps and make your frosting silkier.
• Moisten the cake: A trick to make the cake juicier is to spray it with a little syrup or orange juice before applying the frosting.
• Dye handling: Add the dye little by little to control the intensity of the PinkChocolate and prevent it from being too dark.
• Simple decoration: If you don't have a piping bag, use a spoon to create large dots and then smooth with a spatula for a handcrafted finish.
• Refrigeration: Store the cake in refrigeration to maintain the firmness of the rose frosting and its freshness.
