Guilt-Free Indulgence: Scrumptious Sugar-Free Honey Rose Cake

Ingredients

Before we start baking, let’s gather all the ingredients needed to create this guilt-free delight:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup honey (Preferably Nutriplus Monofloral Honey)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon rosewater
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• Pink food colouring (optional)

Instructions for Honey Rose Cake

1. .To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
2. Combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, honey (preferably Nutriplus Monofloral Honey), almond milk, melted coconut oil, and rosewater in a large mixing bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients thoroughly until a smooth consistency is approached.
3. Add whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Ensure that the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined by whisking them together.
4. Mix the dry and wet ingredients gradually in a bowl, whisking until the consistency is smooth. Refrain from overmixing, as this can lead to a dense texture in the cake.
5. You can put a few drops of pink food colouring (completely optional) to achieve a subtle pink hue. Gently mix the batter until the colour is evenly distributed.
6. Transfer the batter to the pre-prepared cake pan and tap twice or thrice to set the batter smoothly.
7. Once the pan is kept in the preheated oven and bake for approx. 30-35 min.
8. Insert a fork or toothpick into the cake’s centre to check if it is fully baked. If it comes out clean with no batter clinging to it, it indicates that the cake is done and baked to perfection.
9. Once baked, remove the cake and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Frosting

Now, let’s whip up a delectable frosting that complements the flavours of our eggless and sugar-free cake:

1. Mix 1 cup unsalted butter (or a dairy-free alternative), 1/4 cup of honey (preferably Nutriplus Monofloral Honey), and 1 tablespoon of rosewater in a separate bowl.
2. Utilize an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until they achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
3. Adjust the sweetness and rose flavour by incorporating more honey or rosewater according to your personal preference.
4. Once the cake has cooled completely, generously spread the frosting over the top.
5. If you’re creating a layered cake, divide it horizontally and apply frosting to each layer before assembling them together.

Decoration and Finishing Touches

For an extra touch of elegance, here are a few decorating ideas you can add to your cake:

1. Sprinkle-dried rose petals on top of the frosted cake for a beautiful and fragrant finish.
2. Garnish with slivered almonds or chopped pistachios for a delightful crunch.
3. Pipe some honey-sweetened whipped cream in decorative patterns on the cake for a creative twist.
