Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C or 320F/160C and grease and line two sandwich cake pans.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water in a small bowl, mix and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
3. Cream 1 1/4 cups of the butter and the sugar in a large bowl. Add the rosewater and vanilla extract, then the flax “eggs” and mix well.
4. Add the corn starch, ground almonds, flours and baking powder and mix well to combine. Add a splash of non-dairy milk to loosen if too thick.
5. Transfer into the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
6. Allow to cool completely, then whip the cream and sandwich between the two layers.
7. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of butter with the powdered sugar, then add in the pink food colouring.
8. Slather the buttercream on top of the cake, then top with the crushed pistachios and rose petals (if using).
