Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 lemons zest and juice
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon icing sugar for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180 deg C and grease and line a 23 cm cake tin. Set aside.
  • Combine the almond flour, semolina, baking powder and sea sat. Stir thoroughly, to remove any lumps and set aside.
  • In another bowl combine the brown sugar, olive oil, juice and zest, eggs and rosemary. Beat for a few mins on a low speed using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is well incorporated and lighter in colour.
  • Fold through the semolina mixture until well incorporated and pour the batter into a cake tin. Bake for 30-35 mins (depending on your oven) or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Leave the cake in the tin for 5 mins before removing it and letting it cool on a wire rack. Once cooled completely dust with icing sugar and serve.
