Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350F

Step 2

Line the bottom of three 6” cake pans with parchment paper. Grease the sides with butter or oil.

Step 3

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, corn starch, salt, sugar and baking powder.

Step 4

Cube the butter then add it to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined and crumbly. The mixture should resemble bread crumbs.

Step 5

In a bowl, whisk the room temperature eggs, oil, vanilla and buttermilk until well combined.

Step 6

Add the wet ingredients to the dry in 3 batches, mixing on medium speed after each addition. (Each addition should be fully combined before adding the next)

Step 7

Stop mixing once the cake batter is smooth and has no visible flour clumps. Do not over mix.

Step 8

Divide the batter equally between the 3 pans, smooth them out, then tap gently against your countertop to eliminate air bubbles.

Step 9

Bake at 350F for 20 mins. Insert a toothpick in the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean, you’re good to go.

Step 10

Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes then invert the layers onto a cooling rack and peel back the parchment paper. Cool completely.

Step 11

Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. They’re a lot easier to work with when chilled so I highly recommend doing this.

Step 12

In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or an electric hand mixer, whip the cold heavy cream, sifted powdered sugar, and rose water until stiff peaks.

Step 13

In a small bowl, combine the gelatine powder and cold water. Give it a mix then microwave for 20 seconds, or until fully melted. Add the heavy cream and mix until well combined.

Step 14

Add the gelatine mixture into the whipped cream. Mix on medium speed until just combined. Do not over mix!

Step 15

Dice and pat dry the strawberries. Set aside.

Step 16

Level the cake layers with a serrated knife . They should be nice and flat.

Step 17

Place 1 of the cake layers onto a turn table. Using an off set spatula, add a layer of the whipped cream and smooth it out.

Step 18

Add 1/2 of the diced strawberries. Cover with another layer of whipped cream and smooth it out.

Step 19

Add the second cake layer and repeat the process with the rest of the strawberries / whipped cream.

Step 20

Add the final cake layer then cover the entire thing with whipped cream.

Step 21

Use a bench scraper to smooth it out. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Step 22

Use a spoon or an off set spatula to add rustic swoops to the cake.

Step 23

Optional: Surround the bottom of the cake with dill. It adds a nice touch of colour.

Step 24

For the roses: Use pomegranate seeds, rosemary, and small mint leaves.
