Rosemary Olive Oil Cake Recipe

Ingredients

    * ¾ cup spelt flour
    * 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    * ¾ cup sugar
    * 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    * ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    * 3 eggs
    * 1 cup olive oil
    * ¾ cup whole milk
    * 1 ½ tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
    * 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into pieces
    * 2 tablespoons sugar for top crunch

Directions for Preparation

In this easy olive oil cake recipe, the richness of olive flavor is complemented with rosemary herb. Preheat oven to 350°F, and line a loaf pan with a parchment paper. Keep this ready and work on the batter preparation part for olive oil cake with rosemary. Sift the dry ingredients - spelt flour, all-purpose flour, sugar (¾ cup), baking powder and kosher salt in a bowl. Whisk the eggs in another large bowl, and stir in olive oil, whole milk and rosemary. After even mixing, add more than half of the chocolate pieces. Pour this batter in the loaf pan and smoothen top.

Add remaining chocolate chips sparingly on top of the batter, and then sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake olive oil cake in the preheated oven for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the top portion become golden brown. See to it that the cake is baked properly. Or else, insert a knife and check whether it comes out clear or not. With this, you can finish off your cake recipe. But if you prefer having caramelized sugar on top, put it in the broiler for 1 minute or so. Then, leave the cake on a cooling rack for some time before slicing.

This way, bake olive oil cake to satisfy your cravings for sweet foods. You can serve it warm on the same day, or cover the cake with plastic wrap for chilling in the refrigerator. Enjoy it after 2 days, so that the flavor of the ingredients mellow in the cake perfectly. Either way this cake is delicious and makes a healthy dessert for everyone.
