Lemon and Rosemary cake
Ingredients:
175g butter at room temperature
175g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
200g self-raising flour
50g ground almonds
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2tsp finely chopped rosemary
Topping:
150g fondant icing sugar
Lemon zest, to decorate
Method: Preheat oven to gas mark 3/160° (140°C in a fan oven). Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with wooden spoon or electric whisk until butter becomes a pale colour and mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs, then fold in flour, ground almonds, lemon zest and juice and rosemary, until evenly mixed. Spoon mixture into 7-8" round tin and bake for 1 hour, until pale golden, risen and firm to touch. Cool in tin for 10 minutes, then turn out and allow to cool completely. To decorate, mix icing sugar with a drop or two of cold water to make a very thick pouring consistency. Drizzle over cake and decorate with lemon zest.
