White Chocolate and Rose Loaf Cake
A delicious cake with a difference: a hint of rose blends beautifully with white chocolate.
Servings: 10 alices
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time30 minutes mins
Total Time45 minutes mins
Ingredients
For the syrup
- 60 ml fruit cordial ( or other fruity liqueur (optional))
- 1 tsp rose water
- 50 g Sugar
- 3 Cardamom Pods (optional)
For the Cake
- 120 g butter ( – or baking margarine)
- 75 g granulated sugar (I use unrefined golden)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp rose water
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder (heaped)
- 120 g plain flour
- 50 g white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / GM4
Line a 1lb loaf tin with baking parchment.
Put all the ingredients for the syrup into a small pan and simmer until reduced by half.
Using a handheld or stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract, then the eggs, one at a time. Stir in half the reduced syrup and the rose water. Fold in the baking powder, flour and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for about 30 mins until the cake is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
When still warm prick the top of the cake all over with a fork, and drizzle the remaining syrup over.
Dust with icing sugar to serve.
Enjoy! The cake should keep in a tin for a good 5 days.

Now you know that was all looking pretty good to me, you shouldn’t have pointed out all the things that bothered you. I was thinking the cake looked good and what a pretty plate.Reply

I’ll keep quiet next time then! I love my junk shop £1 plates.

This challenge is vexing me somewhat. I managed to get a bottle of rosehip cordial yesterday, so now I need to work out what to make. Your loaf cake looks very good.

Thank you. Amazingly it is not stale after being made 5 days ago. Even more amazingly there is still some left after 5 days.

I really should get back into the blogging events too. Using fruit cordial for the syrup is a great idea – will have to try that one. I have some Cherry and Vanilla Bottlegreen Cordial in my cupboard…..Reply
Helen
Oh! That will be very nice indeed Beth.

Well it’s a pretty plate and a pretty tablecloth. As for the cake, it sounds divine. What a great idea to pour a rose flavour syrup over the cake. Raspberry and rose is such a delicious combination – I want some of that syrup for my very own!!!!!! Thanks for participating in the challenge.Reply
