Rosemary Remembrance Cake

Aug 29, 2013 · 33 Comments

A sweet & floral cake meant to be savored on a balmy summer day.  With hints of rosemary and lemon, this cake is best when served warm with a cup of tea.

Seeing a bird soar and hearing its call; the smell of the salty air, the boat fumes and the rumble of the motor is a morning that the Lord blessed you with.  One is scurrying to get ones fishing pole and the bait.  The thermos is full of hot coffee and the sandwiches are simple; but yet this is a day that is rich and full of treasures.  These treasurers are set in the recess of your mind; to be drawn and to fill you to the brim and lay the path to who you are.

    Good Luck Catherine! I hope you win, your cake looks scrumptious. I was looking for a nectarine recipe last Sunday night and this looks like something that would have hit the spot. For some reason I just don't like the texture of cooked apples. But this cake sounds so unique and I love that addition of Rosemary.

    You are my culinary inspiration!

    The first time I tasted rosemary in a desert was in a crème brûlée. Since then, rosemary and I have become best friends. This is such a beautiful cake!

    Oh my goodness ... this looks heavenly. It's a gorgeous cake on its own, but that simple sprig of rosemary nestled in the top is so elegant. I'm sure it'll be a spotlight of the event.

    Hi Catherine,
    I love Nigella's recipes because they are so trustable and they always turn out exactly as you see them in her books and love my books, but I have to trust the author.
    Fantastic bread and so beautiful!!

    I really like the taste of apples and rosemary. I made apple cheddar sticky buns years ago and added some rosemary. It was a delightfully unexpected combination.

    This is a combination to remember for sure, Catherine. I can just imagine the fragrance from the Rosemary and the Apples. It must be pure delight!

    I'm trying to make my way down to Long Island in the next couple of weeks. I'd love to do some fishing and oh how I miss that salty ocean breeze. We'll see...

    Thanks for sharing, Catherine...
