Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 150ml milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the lemon zest and chopped rosemary.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: While the cake is baking, prepare the mead cream by whipping together heavy cream and mead (adjust sweetness to taste) until soft peaks form. Serve chilled alongside slices of the cake once cooled.

Notes

  • To store your rosemary syrup cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For reheating, simply warm individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to bring back the cake’s moist texture without drying it out.
  • Consider serving the cake with a sprinkle of extra chopped rosemary or a drizzle of honey over the mead cream for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
  • When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix after adding the flour; this helps keep your cake light and fluffy.
