Lemon Polenta Cake

Tuesday 13th December 2011 3:59 PM

This is a zesty cake that is really easy to make.

Ingredients

200g unsalted butter - softened
200g caster sugar
200g ground almonds
100g polenta
3 eggs - beaten
zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 level teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons caster sugar

Equipment

- large mixing bowl
- electric hand mixer
- small bowl
- fork
- grater
- tablespoon
- spatula
- 900g loaf tin - lined
- lemon squeezer
- small saucepan
- skewer

How to make it

1. Heat the oven to 170ºC/Gas 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy.



2. Gradually add the beaten egg, a tablespoon at a time, beating well between each addition. Use all the egg.



3. Add the ground almonds, polenta, baking powder and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly by folding the ingredients together. See Chef's Tips. Pour into the prepared tin and cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour until a skewer comes out 'clean' when inserted into the cake.



4. Place the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of caster sugar in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved.



5. While still warm, prick the cake all over and slowly drizzle the syrup over the cake allowing it to soak in. Serve sliced into individual portions, with Limoncello Cream.
