Technique

• STEP 1

  Warmth the oven to 180C/160C fan/gasoline 4. Butter a 20cm cake tin and line with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar collectively utilizing an electrical whisk till pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat within the eggs, one by one, then fold within the flour, baking powder and milk. (If the combination begins to separate when including the eggs, add 1 tbsp of the flour with each.) Scrape half the batter right into a second bowl. Stir the raspberry powder and meals colouring into one bowl and the rosewater into the opposite, so you have got a bowl of pink berry batter and one in every of plain rose batter.

• STEP 2

  Alternately spoon the batters into the center of the tin (about 1-2 tbsp every time) till all of the batter is used up and it has stuffed the tin. If the batter is kind of thick, gently press in every spoonful to encourage it to the sting. Use a skewer to swirl the batters collectively to create a marbled impact. Bake for 40-45 minutes till golden, risen and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clear. Cool on a wire rack.

• STEP 3

  In the meantime, put the recent or frozen berries and icing sugar in a bowl and go away for 1 hr till syrupy. Add a drop of rosewater, in the event you like. Serve with slices of the cake alongside the crème fraîche.
