Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
- Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

CORNMEAL ROSEMARY CAKE WITH LEMON FONDANT
Recipe by Tom Douglas. The icing for this cake is not a classic fondant, but an almost transparent powdered sugar glaze flecked with rosemary leaves and lemon zest. The rosemary is blanched first, to remove some of its pungency. For a less dressy cake, you could omit the fondant. Simply brush the cake with the lemon syrup and serve with sliced fresh figs or small bunches of grapes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 9-inch cake pan, line it with a circle of parchment paper, and butter the paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, rosemary, zest, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, briefly whisk the mascarpone to loosen it.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking to combine.
- Add the sugar and whisk until smooth.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients, in two batches, into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Stir in the butter.
- Scrape the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a skewer comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the lemon syrup.
- Combine the lemon juice and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from the heat.
- Allow the cake pan to cool on a rack for 5 minutes before unmolding.
- To unmold, run a small knife around the cake.
- Place an inverted plate over the cake pan and, protecting your hands with a kitchen towel, invert the whole thing.
- The cake should slide right out onto the plate.
- Peel off the parchment paper, then place a 9-inch cardboard circle or an inverted plate over the cake and, again, invert the whole thing.
- Remove the top plate and the cake will be right side up.
- With a wooden skewer, poke a few dozen holes all over the top of the cake.
- While the cake is still warm, brush the cake with the lemon syrup.
- Continue brushing for several minutes, giving the syrup time to sink into the cake, until you've used all or most of the syrup.
- Allow the cake to cool.
- To make the lemon fondant, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil.
- Add the rosemary leaves and blanch them for one minute.
- Scoop out the rosemary leaves with a small sieve and drop them immediately into a small bowl of ice water.
- Drain, and spread the rosemary leaves on a paper towel to dry.
- In a bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, cream, and lemon juice until smooth, then whisk in the blanched rosemary and the zest.
- When the cake is completely cool, transfer it to a rack set over a baking sheet.
- (If your cake is not on a cardboard circle, use a wide spatula to transfer it.) Pour the fondant over the top of the cake and allow it to drip off the sides.
- You can gently tilt the cardboard circle or the wire rack back and forth to encourage the glaze to completely flow over the top of the cake.
- While the glaze is still wet, transfer the cake to a cake plate.
- Allow the fondant to dry, an hour or more, before serving the cake.
- (If you allow the glaze to dry before you transfer it, the glaze may crack a bit, unless you are transferring it on a cardboard circle.) Because this cake is quite moist, you can make it one day ahead.
- After the cake is brushed with the syrup, allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and leave it at room temperature.
- A few hours before you're ready to serve the cake, make the fondant and glaze the cake.

- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Spray six (6-oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and salt. Add the flour and sugar and whisk until smooth.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. (The peaks should curl when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.) Spoon about 1/4 of the egg whites into the lemon mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining egg whites and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold into the lemon mixture until smooth. The batter will be light, foamy, and liquidy.
- Place the prepared ramekins into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle the batter evenly into the ramekins (it will come almost to the top). Using a teapot or pitcher, pour room temperature water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cakes are puffy and lightly golden on top. Using tongs, carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving. (They will sink a bit as they cool; that's okay.) Dust with Confectioners' sugar and serve with berries, if desired.
