Italian Rose Cake recipe
This Italian Rose Cake, a rich brioche-like cake hailing from Northern Italy’s Lombardy region, is a testament to the art of baking. Much more than the sum of its parts, this cake is a wonderful combination of simple ingredients: flour, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and yeast. The butter and sugar in the filling create a unique caramel-like flavor. Flavored with citrus zest and vanilla, it’s comforting and cozy. Its shape is designed to resemble a bouquet of roses, making it the perfect bake for Mother’s Day or any celebration. And it’s surprisingly easy to make at home.
The recipe calls for 00 flour, a finely ground Italian flour, though all-purpose flour can be used if you have trouble finding it. This amazingly delicious cake takes a bit of planning (a 5-hour rise), but one bite and you will forget the extra time it takes. Enjoy this cake slightly warm or at room temperature.
