Serves:6
Preparation time:1hr

Light and fragrant, it is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon rosemary, fresh or dried
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 cup currants or raisins
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup confectioners sugar


Preparation:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.  Combine 1/2 cup sugar and the olive oil in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed for 2 minutes. 
Add yogurt, extracts, egg and egg white; beat for 1 minute. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended.  Fold in rind and currants.


Pour batter into a 9-inch spring-form pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden and cake springs back when touched lightly in the center.  While cake is baking, combine confectioners sugar with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice.  If it is too thick add a couple drops of water until it is a desired consistency. Remove cake from oven, let cool slightly. Pierce cake lightly with a fork several times.  Spoon glaze over cake.  Cool on a wire rack.
