Duck Egg Cake with Rosemary recipes Recipes

recipe image

This is an insanely easy cake to make. It goes together in just minutes and tastes awesome: a touch ducky—more so if you use wild duck fat—sweet, but not overly so, with a little hit of rosemary to even things out. I originally made this as a sort of stunt, but it’s so good I’ve put it into the regular rotation. If you like a sweeter cake, up the sugar to a full cup, and if you hate rosemary, skip it or sub in lemon verbena, sage, or winter savory. Serve the cake with fruit and maybe a little whipped cream. A sweet dessert white wine, like a vin santo or a Sauternes, is a perfect choice.

Ingredients:

  • unsalted butter
  • 4 duck eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 7 tablespoons duck fat, melted
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Healthy pinch of kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter.
  2. Crack the duck eggs into a large bowl, add the sugar, and beat with a whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. Drizzle in the oil and duck fat while stirring the mixture. Once the fat is well incorporated into the mixture, sprinkle the rosemary on top.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using the whisk, stir the flour into the egg-fat mixture until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes. Stick a toothpick into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, bake for another 10 minutes.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack. Slice and eat warm or at room temperature.
