Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Edible rose petals (unsprayed and washed)
• 1.5 teaspoons Rose water
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 drops Pink food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and rose water.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in half of the edible rose petals into the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Once baked, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before frosting.

Step 11

To prepare the frosting, beat the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and remaining rose water together until smooth and fluffy. If desired, add pink food coloring for a delicate hue.

Step 12

Frost the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or spread the frosting with a knife.

Step 13

Decorate the cupcakes with the remaining edible rose petals for a beautiful, fragrant finish.

Step 14

Serve immediately or store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
