Lemon Rosemary Pound Cake

1 3/4 C flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

3/4 C olive oil

1 C sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

zest of 1 lemon

2 TB fresh rosemary, 1 TB if using dried.

Set the oven to 350˚. Grease a 9×5x3″ loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper (I used waxed paper, and it worked wonderfully) and grease it. Bake for 50-60 minutes, cool 10minutes.

Irish Soda Bread or it can be Shortcake, I think

4 Cups All Pur­pose Flour

1 Tea­spoon Salt

1 Tea­spoon Bak­ing Soda

2 Cups Buttermilk

½ Cup of Butter

2 Table­spoons White Sugar

Sift all dry ingre­di­ents together. Cre­ate a lit­tle cir­cle in the cen­ter of them (in your bowl) add soft­ened but­ter & the buttermilk.

Mix together quickly, it won’t look like white bread with yeast. Instead it will look more like bis­cuit dough.

Kneed it for no more than a minute. It does not need to be worked to death.

Then shape into a round cake (you could even bake it in a cake pan if you like). Put it onto a floured sheet pan (or in a cake pan) & carve a cross into the top of it.

Bake in a pre­heated oven at 425 for 40 minutes

** I added raisins and caraway seeds to make it more traditional of a Irish soda bread for St. Patrick's Day. But I think it can be made to use as a Shortcake for fresh fruit and cream.
