Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350°. Take a 9-inch springform pan and grease its bottom and sides lightly. Place the parchment paper at the bottom of the pan.
• Grate 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Then, squeeze 5 tablespoons of lemon juice. Reserve 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the zest.
• Take a bowl and mix flour, salt, and sugar in it. Beat ¾ times until everything is blended perfectly. Add butter and keep beating until the mixture looks like rough crumbs.
• Reserve 1 cup of mixture and transfer the rest to a heavy-duty electric stand mixer’s bowl. Beat at a low speed after adding baking soda and baking powder. Blend well.
• Add egg, buttermilk, and ¼-cup lemon juice to the mixture and beat at a medium speed until everything is blended well. Stir in rosemary.
• Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Take a small bowl and whisk the lemon curd in it until becomes smooth. Spread the curd over the batter and then top with the remaining batter.
• Stir together the reserved flour mixture, lemon juice, and the lemon zest. Spread the mixture over the batter.
• Now, bake the cake until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes. Now, remove the cake from pan and cool it on a wire rack for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle powdered sugar before serving.

Tips

• Lemon curd can be substituted with Greek yogurt.

Enjoy your evening coffee with this excellent cake!
