I’ve made numerous desserts much like this one, particularly desserts that embody each cornmeal and olive oil and are flavored with citrus, however this explicit cake will definitely develop into one in all my all time favorites. I used each a finely floor semolina flour together with some coarsely floor cornmeal and common all-purpose flour, after which flavored the cake with some Sicilian lemons and recent rosemary from my backyard.
What actually makes this cake stand out is the addition of yogurt which helps to create a really moist cake. I additionally used a bit flavoring known as Fiori di Sicilia, one in all my favourite extracts I purchase from King Arthurs Flour.
Instead of Fiori di Sicilia you could possibly use half a teaspoon of vanilla, and half a teaspoon of lemon extract. Don’t worry in regards to the addition of rosemary within the cake, because it merely provides a delicate depth of taste and you actually don’t style “rosemary” in any respect.
I like desserts like this one as a result of they’re so versatile. I can serve this cake sliced on it’s personal for breakfast with a pleasant cup of cappuccino, or I can serve it as dessert after dinner with some poached fruit on prime together with a dollop of sweetened mascarpone cheese.
Though I like the mix of lemon and rosemary, you could possibly use thyme or lavender rather than the rosemary, and even change the lemon juice and zest with that of orange. Alhough I saved my cake easy, you could possibly additionally drizzle the highest of the cake with a lemon flavored glaze.
Buon Appetito!
