Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the sponge is completely cool before applying the frosting to prevent it from melting.

  2. For a more intense rose flavor, you can add a few extra drops of rose water to the frosting.

  3. Use a serrated knife to slice the sponge layers evenly.

FAQS

  1. Can I use dairy-based whip cream instead of non-dairy?

    Yes, you can substitute non-dairy whip cream with dairy-based whip cream if preferred.

  2. How do I store the cake?

    Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  3. Can I skip the rose water?

    Yes, you can skip the rose water if you prefer a traditional cream cheese frosting.

  4. Can I use fresh cream instead of cream cheese?

    Cream cheese is essential for the frosting's texture and flavor, so it's recommended not to substitute it with fresh cream.

  5. What can I use instead of red food color?

    You can use natural food coloring like beetroot juice or powder as an alternative to red food color.
