Rosemary and lemon are a classic combination that works perfectly together in these delicate custard cakes. The rosemary adds a subtle savory note that complements the bright citrus flavor of the lemon. These cakes are perfect for a special occasion or a simple afternoon snack. They are also relatively easy to make, so even novice bakers can give them a try.

ROSEMARY LEMON CAKE
This is a nice, light dessert from Cooking Light magazine. The original called for currants, but I use diced dried cranberries (Craisins). I also serve with a dollop of non-fat, no sugar added lemon yogurt. Cooking time does not include cooling time.

ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH LEMON BUTTERCREAM
When chef Anne Burrell got engaged to Stuart Claxton, she wanted a wedding with some traditional elements and some unexpected ones. Her six-tier cake was a perfect mix of the two: a creation straight out of a fairy tale - but with totally surprising flavors inside. She called on one of the most creative bakers she knows, her friend Buddy Valastro, to pull off the feat, and together they settled on this showstopper, made with rosemary olive oil cake and lemon buttercream. (To play up the harvest theme of the October event, Buddy decorated it with vegetables molded from Rice Krispies treats!) Here's a scaled-down cake recipe straight from Buddy so you can try it yourself.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Combine the sugar, 2 1/3 cups flour, the baking powder, salt and 2 egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until well mixed. Stream in 1 cup olive oil and mix about 30 seconds. Beat in the 3 whole eggs, one at a time. Stream in the milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 3 teaspoons flour. Fold the rosemary mixture into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pans.
- Make the lemon curd: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar, the egg yolk, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until the mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate to cool.
- Make the buttercream: Set up a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. In a medium saucepan, heat the egg whites and remaining 1 cup sugar over medium heat until the mixture reaches 160˚ F and the sugar is dissolved. (You should not be able to feel any sugar granules and the mixture should be very warm, not hot, to the touch.)
- Pour the egg white mixture into the mixer bowl and whisk on medium-high speed until the meringue is three times its volume, holds firm peaks and has cooled to about 95˚ F, about 4 minutes. Beat in the remaining 4 sticks butter slowly, piece by piece, until smooth and blended. Beat in the salt and vanilla.
- Remove the lemon curd from the refrigerator and fold it into the buttercream until well combined.
- Assemble the cake: Transfer 1 cake layer to a cake plate. Spread some of the buttercream on top using an offset spatula. Top with the other cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of buttercream (this is the crumb coat); refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes. Cover with the remaining buttercream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Whisk 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, and pinch of salt in medium bowl to blend. Combine milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon peel in large bowl; whisk until blended. Add flour mixture to yolk mixture and whisk custard until blended.
