Rosemary Apple and Olive Oil Cake

Rosemary Apple and Olive Oil Cake

Rosemary Apple and Olive Oil Cake recipe

After some recent experimenting with Basil, Earl Gray, Jasmine and Green Tea I’m not surprise that I have also taken an interest in more spice and herb kitchen staples. The latest fixation – Rosemary. So I went a bit Rosemary baking crazy on the adventure with plenty of trial and error until I finally came up with a recipe that ticked all the box.

I was so sure the Chocolate and Rosemary cake experiment would be the strongest, but was triumphed by the Apple Rosemary and Olive Oil Cake.

The flavour of this cake is very interesting and addictive with a savory twist. While the apple provides a delectable and delicate texture.
