🛒 Ingredients

✓ 60g unsalted butter, softened
✓ 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 large egg
✓ 2 tbsp aquafaba (chickpea liquid)
✓ 80g all-purpose flour
✓ 1.5 tsp baking powder
✓ 1/4 tsp salt
✓ 4 tbsp erythritol (or monk fruit blend)
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Cake Pans: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease two 6-inch (15cm) round cake pans or one 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Dust lightly with flour.

2. Cream Butter and Yogurt: In a bowl, beat softened butter and Greek yogurt together for 2–3 minutes until pale and fluffy. The yogurt prevents the mixture from becoming too dense.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the whole egg and beat well for 1 minute. Whisk aquafaba lightly in a separate cup, then fold gently into the batter in two additions. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, erythritol, and ground cardamom. Whisk until evenly mixed to distribute cardamom flavor throughout.

5. Fold in Dry Mix: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two additions using a spatula. Do not overmix; stir until just combined for a tender crumb.

6. Bake Cake Layers: Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 28–32 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

7. Make Rose-Cardamom Cream: In a small bowl, whisk light coconut cream, erythritol, rose water, and cardamom until smooth and well combined. Chill for 10 minutes.

8. Assemble Cake: Once cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half the rose-cardamom cream on top, then layer the second cake. Top with remaining cream and garnish with dried rose petals if desired.

9. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and cream to set slightly. Slice into 2 generous portions.
