Unconventional Dessert: Rosemary Olive Oil Cake

Greetings, fellow foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique dessert that combines the savory notes of rosemary with the richness of olive oil to create a mouthwatering treat. This recipe is perfect for those looking to step outside the traditional dessert box and try something new and exciting. So, let’s dive into making this delicious Rosemary Olive Oil Cake!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 280g all-purpose flour
• 200g sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 120ml olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 240ml milk
• 1 tbsp lemon zest

To bring this unique dessert to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• 9-inch cake pan
• parchment paper
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and preparing your cake pan by lining it with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chopped rosemary. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, milk, and lemon zest until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice the cake into servings and enjoy the unique combination of savory rosemary and rich olive oil in every bite.

This Rosemary Olive Oil Cake weighs approximately 800g in total and yields about 8 servings. Each serving is around 100g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to brush the top of the cake with a mixture of olive oil and honey before serving. This adds a beautiful sheen and an extra layer of flavor to the cake.

I hope you give this unconventional dessert a try and that it brings a burst of unique flavor to your table. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and oils to make this recipe your own. Happy baking!
