Amazingly Good Rosemary Olive Oil Cake

Dear Turkey,

If I told you that

It has chocolate chips, would it

Sound more amazing?

Amazingly Good Rosemary Olive Oil Cake

(adapted from here)

Ingredients:

- 1 c white flour

- 1 c whole wheat flour

- 1 t baking soda

- 1 t baking powder

- 1/4 t salt

- 1/2 c extra virgin olive oil

- scant 3/4 c maple syrup

- 3/4 c milk (I recommend whole or soy unsweetened)

- 1/4 c lemon juice (jarred is fine)

- 1 heaping T fresh rosemary, cut up as small as you have patience for (or substitute another hearty herb like lavender, fennel, or lemon peel -- or even cinnamon)

- 2/3 c chocolate chips (I recommend bittersweet chocolate chunks)

Instructions:

- Generously oil a pie dish (olive oil is fine for this).

- Mix the dry ingredients, including the rosemary. Make a well in them and add the wet ingredients and chocolate chips; use a spatula to mix just until combined.

- Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean (this took me 40 minutes). Cool completely. This cake will probably be better the next day.

Enjoy,

Tofu
