Lemon and Rosemary Olive Oil Bundt Cakes

Spring is finally here in the Bay Area! You can see the pretty cherry blossoms everywhere, little leaves are sprouting on all the trees, the mountains that I can see from my window are lush green, the days are longer, I can finally see my roses coming back again, in our backyard! I am seeing spring vegetables back at the farmer’s market like asparagus and peas. I got my first asparagus this past weekend, and made a salad with it! So delicious! I can hear the birds chirping, flowers growing on the side streets, and brings a spring in my step! My lemon tree is bursting with lemons right now, and I have been thinking of how I can make good use of these lemons!

I made these adorable cute mini bundts last year with flavors of lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and rosemary from my garden. If you know of Nydia from The Spanish Tin , she makes the most amazing Spanish spices, blends, cocktail salts! I used her Mediterranean  Rosemary Salt to make a Rosemary Salted Caramel, and it turned out super delicious! I actually used the rosemary salted caramel to drizzle on Vanilla Bean Ice cream, to make brownies, or just to taste a spoonful! aha! Super flavorful!

I used rye flour and almond flour to make these yummy treats. Once out of the oven, and cooled, I drizzled the mini bundts with the Salted Rosemary Caramel and then topped it with thinly sliced almonds and pretty lemon rinds for decoration! These bundts are full of flavor, and are perfect with a cuppa tea or coffee, for breakfast, or an afternoon snack! Top it with Vanilla Bean Ice cream and it forms a perfect dessert!

  3. Preheat your oven to 350 deg F and grease and your 6 cup bundt pan with olive oil spray.
  4. Combine the almond flour, dark rye flour, baking powder and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly, to remove any lumps.
  5. In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest, eggs and rosemary. Beat for a few mins on a low speed using a hand mixture or a large whisk until the mixture is well incorporated for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and whisk until well incorporated and pour the batter into the bundt pan. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Leave the cake in the pan for 5 mins before removing it and letting it cool on a wire rack. Invert gently on a flat surface to remove the bundt cakes.
  8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the bundt cakes. Top with slivered almond or thinly sliced almonds, and thin lemon rinds for decoration!
