The use of herbs in savoury dishes is as natural as drinking a glass of water, but add herbs to a sweet dish, and you get an unexpected burst of unparralleled, delicate flavour. Use rosemary sparingly and it adds an earthy depth to cake, paired perfectly with refreshingly tart lemon.



Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 10 slices

Ingredients
1 tsp of lemon zest
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp mixed spice
150g butter
150g sugar
150g flour
1 egg
1 dried rosemary sprig

Method






















Enjoy a slice with of cup of herbal tea, if you can stick to just the one slice.

Store in an airtight container in a cool area, store cupboard or bread tin.

Because of the low sugar and fat quantities in the cake, it works well as a luxury breakfast treat, or at least that's my excuse for having cake at 8am.
