Rose-flavoured glaze takes this plain sour cream bundt to a whole new level.
Pretty and tasty with the addition of rose petals, this rose glazed bundt is a stunner.
My go-to cake is definitely the sour cream cake. It’s great plain or with icing and is requested around here often. I’ve used it for cakes, cupcakes and even cake pops. For my mother-in-law’s birthday, I wanted to take the cake up a notch. What better way than with a flavour filled glaze.
The Inspiration
When I had seen the bottle of rose petals at Silk Road Spice Merchant, I knew I wanted to incorporate them somehow and this was definitely the best way to do it.
The Glaze
The glaze was made simply with some icing sugar, rose essence and milk. Rose essence is very powerful and a little goes a long way. This is very different than rose water which is a diluted version of the essence.
Get the glaze into a consistency that is almost pourable, so you get that dripped look on the cake. Sprinkle the top of the cake with dried rose petals.
