The icing I use is like a thin glaze and I heat the rosemary with other ingredients and then pour over the cake.I will see if I can find the recipe.I add about 1/2 teaspoon of finely choppped fresh rosemary.
...Thanks, Alix. I love all things lemony.
Well this one should fit the bill for you Kathleen, its moist and lemony and yummers. I'm sure SOMEONE would do an amazing job of it.
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1/2 cup milk
zest of one lemon (2-3tsps)
Cream butter and sugar together, beat eggs in one at a time. Sift 1/2 flour, baking powder into the butter/sugar mixture, stir and pour in 1/4 cup of milk, stir til well blended. Repeat with last 1/2 of dry ingredients and then the rest of the milk. Stir in the zest.
Pour into an 8x8 cake tin, or a round cake tin. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 or until toothpick comes out clean.
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
Mix together and pour over warm cake. Turn oven off and let cake sit in oven for about 10 minutes.
finally got lemons, this is on my baking list for tomorrow.
I got the cake made, fast and easy. I did do the rosemary in the icing trick and it is lightly scented with the rosemary. Queen of all are the Meyer Lemons. (Thanks Kayelle, you have spawned a monster or two) I still have 1/4 cup of lemon juice and two large lemons left!
To serve I put 1 teaspoon of lemon juice on the plate...
The last is a graphic picture of an Ogre eating...beware!!! The cake is 100% Shrek Approved and he wants more.
Score!!!

Makes me really happy PF, that my Meyer's found a good home.
Told you they are just loaded with juice!! You still have more than enough to make those outrageous Lemon Bars before the Dr. tells you that you can't have them.
Save a little juice to put on that healthy broiled fish after you see the Doctor.
I want to try this but I can't get fresh rosemary here. Would it be absolutely horrible with dried rosemary? And if dried will work, is there anything I should do differently?The icing I use is like a thin glaze and I heat the rosemary with other ingredients and then pour over the cake.I will see if I can find the recipe.I add about 1/2 teaspoon of finely choppped fresh rosemary.

Good call...I would simmer the rosemary in the water before adding the sugar.
