Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon glaze
  • 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Then stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and zest.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the butter mixture.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating between the two and stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped rosemary.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Drizzle with the glaze and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs. Enjoy!
