Recipe

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a loaf pan well with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3: Using whisk attachment of electric mixer, beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar. Whip on high speed until mixture is pale yellow, has tripled in volume and falls from the whisk in a thick ribbon. Reduce speed to low and pour in olive oil and rosemary. Add flour mixture by hand, whisking just until well combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4: Pour into prepared pan and bake 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre of loaf comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a rack and let cool completely. Serve with apple compote and whipped cream, if desired.
