Ingredients You'll Need

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup canned lychee puree
2 tablespoons rose water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pink food coloring
Whipped cream for topping
Lychee and rose petals for garnish

Instructions for Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

In a separate bowl, mix together the lychee puree, rose water, and lemon juice. Stir in the pink food coloring, adding more if desired, until you achieve a vibrant pink color. Gently fold the lychee mixture into the cake batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Top with whipped cream and garnish with lychee and rose petals.
