Preheat the oven and heat the decorative molds with non-stick spray.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a wide bowl.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Pour in whole milk and extra virgin olive oil into the well.

Add eggs to the mixture.

Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients to avoid clumping.

Incorporate chopped rosemary and orange zest into the batter.

Fill the heated molds with the batter, filling them to the top.

Bake in a moderate oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Once baked, knock the cakes out of the molds and let them cool slightly.

Dust the cakes with powdered sugar using a tea strainer.
