Treat mom to delicious homemade rose and almond cakes this Mother's Day!
Ingredients:
  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 4 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 141.90 gm caster sugar
  • 42.90 gm cornflour
  • 49.50 gm self-raising flour
  • 33.00 gm almond meal (ground almonds)
  • 3/4 icing sugar mixture
  • 5 drops rosewater essence (see note)
  • 12 icing roses, to decorate (see note)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Lightly grease a 12-hole, 1 1/2 tablespoon-capacity round-based patty pan with oil and sprinkle with a touch of cornflour.
  • With an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating until the sugar dissolves. Mix in the vanilla until combined. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the sifted cornflour, self-raising flour, and almond meal. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 7 minutes or until golden and fully cooked. Let it stand in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully move the pastry to a wire rack to cool using a small spatula.
  • In a bowl, combine icing sugar, rosewater essence, and 3 teaspoons of hot water. Mix until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cakes, decorate with sugar roses, and allow to set. Serve and enjoy!
