  • Poke holes with a fork all over the cooled cake. Pour the sauce all over the cake making sure to pour it near the edges too. Reserve a little sauce to pour on cake while serving.
  • Refrigerate the cake for an hour or overnight to allow the cake to soak up all the milk.

  • Spread this over the cake.
  • Refrigerate for an hour and enjoy.  

Notes

  • You can increase or decrease the amount of rose water according to your preference.
  • You can add rose essence instead of rose water, but you will only need very little of that as the smell will be concentrated.
