Citrus Breakfast Cake

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cakes

This lovely cake has a delicate rosemary flavor that is wonderful! Very subtle...

"I made this and it is sensational! It has such complex flavors, and who would have thought of mixing citrus and rosemary. Rosemary is one of my favorites. I did alter the recipe to substitute honey for the sugar. 1 cup of honey for 1 cup of sugar. Cut the buttermilk by 1/4 c. and add 1/2 t. baking soda in addition to the recipe. It is great. I put it in my file for parties. Won't I look like all that. Thanks." - ohfred
