Cake
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Cooking spray with flour
Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Pre-heat oven to 350 F degrees F. Grease an 8.5" by 4.5" loaf pan with baking spray with flour.
In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking gently to combine. In another, medium-sized mixing bowl whisk the butter, sugar, and rose water until pale and creamy, about 1 minute. Next, whisk in the egg until smooth.
Alternately add the flour and milk to the butter mixture until just combined- Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes in pan on rack. Then remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.
Use a pastry brush to coat the top of the cake with melted butter, then sprinkle with the powdered sugar. Serve immediately or enjoy at room temperature for a week!
