Rose Petal Pound Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Carol PHOTO BY: Jennifer

"This cake is very different to the usual recipes and calls for rosewater which you can obtain in Middle Eastern grocery stores. You could also substitute orange water for the rosewater. Rosewater and orange water are used in Middle Eastern pastries. Both are very sweet and they are clear liquids found in bottles."
