Cherry Blossom Cake Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.

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

In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.

Stir in the cherry blossom syrup and add pink food coloring if desired.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Garnish with cherry blossom petals before serving.
