Lemon-Rosemary Pound Cake


I've made this Lemon-Rosemary Pound Cake several times... it's that good!  My favorite way to eat it is toasted, which really brings out the scent of the rosemary.  

This recipe calls for lemon extract and I thought about using lemon juice but I don't think you'd get quite the zip of the lemon taste with just juice.  And of course I'd probably have to adjust the flour and all, which I don't care to do.   

If you're looking for a little different type of recipe in which to use rosemary, give this pound cake a try!  

This is Emeril's recipe and you can find mine, which I only slightly adapted, here.

  8. Have you tried it with dried rosemary - as in nice stuff you dried yourself. I have mountains of the stuff and not enough uses for it. Suggestions welcome.

  9. Karen,
    I make a similar lemon rosemary pound cake too.
    Dorie Greenspan's yogurt lemon cake w/ olive oil and I add fresh rosemary (I add that to most of my cakes! I am addicted!)

  14. Lemon AND rosemary? Sounds so interesting and it must be good if you've made it several times. Clever idea to toast it to bring out the rosemary.

  15. Really interesting! I think I would make it less sweet and serve it with a big chunk of meat (grr) and some vegetables : ) Maybe baby lamb chops?
