THE PERFECT AFTERNOON TEA CAKE

Hello Babes,

So today I baked & I don't mean baked my face. I actually spent some time in the kitchen and made the most wonderful cake I have made in quite some time. I used to bake with my mother all the time but after moving out and living on my own I rarely had the time because I am always traveling and working at events. Now that I have taken some time to rebrand and open up some hidden talents, I have learned that I am a pretty skilled baker on my own.

This cake is the yummiest, fruity-fragrant lemon & rosemary bundt cake. It's light with a lemony flavor that is so perfect for a sweet springtime treat. I love to pair mine with lemon or chamomile tea.

LEMON-ROSEMARY BUNDT CAKE

Ingredients

1. 2 cups plain flour

2. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3. 1 1/2 cup caster sugar

4. 1 cup greek yogurt

5. 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

6. 2 eggs

7. 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest

8. 2 tbsp lemon juice

9. 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary

For icing

1. 1 cup icing sugar

2. 1 tbsp lemon juice

3. rosemary sprigs, to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degree C. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and keep aside.

2. Whisk together all the wet ingredients (yogurt, oil, eggs, juice, zest and rosemary) for cake in a large bowl. Sift together dry ingredients in a separate bowl and fold into the wet ingredients, until just combined. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

3. Let the cake cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

4. For icing, mix icing sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over cake. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

It’s a must try the recipe, if you are a citrus lover just like me.
