Orange-Rosemary Pound Cake

Prep Time: 30 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup butter (no substitutes)

5 eggs

2 cups sifted cake flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon

dried rosemary, crushed

1-1/2 teaspoons orange flower water or 1/4 teaspoon

orange extract

1-1/4 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel

1-1/2 teaspoons orange juice

2/3 cup sifted powdered sugar

2 teaspoons orange juice

Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

 

Directions:

 

1. Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature

for 30 minutes. Grease and lightly flour two

8x4x2-inch loaf pans. Combine flour and baking powder.

Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric

mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds or until

softened. Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a

time, beating on medium speed about 6 minutes or until

very light and fluffy. Beat in honey. Add eggs, one at

a time, beating on low to medium speed for 1 minute

after each addition and scraping bowl frequently.

(Batter may look slightly curdled.) Gradually add

flour mixture, beating on low speed just until

combined. Gently stir in snipped or crushed rosemary,

orange flower water or extract, orange peel, and 1-1/2

teaspoons orange juice.

3. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in a 325

degree F oven about 45 minutes or until wooden

toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in

pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool on

wire racks.

4. For glaze, stir together powdered sugar and 2

teaspoons orange juice. Drizzle over cakes. If

desired, top with rosemary sprigs. Makes 2 loaves (20

servings).

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare cakes as directed, except do

not glaze. Place in a freezer container, and freeze

for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw at room

temperature. Glaze as directed above.
