  • (8g) 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • (2.5g) 1 teaspoon of salt
  • (160g) ¾ cup of extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 302°F (150°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the olive oil, sugar, orange zest, and fresh rosemary for 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously between each addition. Then add the sour cream and beat for 1 more minute. Pour the dry ingredients in two parts and gently fold them in.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan and bake for 35-40 minutes at 150°C. Let it cool completely before unmolding and decorating.
