Ingredients

  • tablespoon double-acting baking powder 
  • 1.5 cups cake flour 
  •  eggs 
  • tablespoons duck fat melted
  • tablespoons rosemary leaves fresh minced
  • pinch kosher salt 
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • 0.8 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
