Pink Rosé Dianthus Wine Cake- #Recipe in Bloom

We can enjoy our garden with more than just our eyes.  Let's use dianthus in this delicious Pink Rosé Wine Cake! It's Delicious and flower filled!Dianthus are easy to grow- and they come in lots of colors- as a child- I thought carnations (a form of dianthus) smelled good enough to eat- and it's true- their slightly sweet natural taste is a great addition to this dessert cake! Dianthus blooms can be used as garnish too... to make the presentation even more flowery!Pink Rosé Wine CakeIngredients:1/2 cup Butter (I prefer President salted butter) Softened3/4 cup of Organic Kane Sugar1 1/2 cups Organic White Flour (you may substitute Organic whole wheat for a more robust cake)1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda1/2 Teaspoon Ground Pink Himalayan Salt - finely ground2 Large Eggs2 Teaspoons Organic Vanilla Extract2/3 Cup Rosé Wine1 1/2 Cups Marinated Cherries (you may substitute Fresh Michigan Cherries when available)1/2 Cup Fresh Organic Dianthus Petals (remove the calyx- and separate petals- using Colorful Petals will enhance the cake's appearance) - Reserve a few perfect Dianthus blossoms for garnishDirections:1.
