    Thank you to Cobram Estate Olive Oil. Cobram Estate - Australia’s most awarded extra virgin olive oil. Grown, harvested and first cold pressed in Northern Victoria
    FOOD:                        Corrie has a recipe: Pistacio, Lemon and Rosemary Cake    
    SERVES 8-10
    150g unsalted butter
    4 x 10cm sprigs of rosemary, leaves very finely chopped
    3 eggs
    100g golden caster sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon lemon extract (alcohol-free)
    2 heaped tablespoons Greek yogurt finely grated zest of 3 large unwaxed lemons
    100g ground almonds
    300g pistachio slivers (or whole nuts), very finely blitzed in a food processor, plus extra to decorate
    FOR THE ICING
    150g icing sugar
    25ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan), Gas Mark 4. Take a large square of baking paper, scrunch it up, then smooth it out and use to line a 22-24cm round cake tin or ovenproof dish.
    Warm the butter in a saucepan over a gentle heat until just melted, then remove from the heat, stir in the rosemary and leave to infuse.
    Put the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla and lemon extracts into a mixing bowl and beat together until well combined. Mix in the yogurt, followed by most of the lemon zest (reserving a little for decorating the cake), the ground almonds and pistachios. Pour in the infused melted butter and mix again until evenly combined.
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin or ovenproof dish and shake to level the surface, then bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown on top and springy to touch. Remove from the oven and leave the cake to cool completely in the tin or dish.
    Mix the icing ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
    Carefully remove the cake from the tin or dish and set it on a serving plate. Pour the icing on top and leave to set, then scatter with the pistachios and reserved lemon zest before serving.
