🍊 Mary Berry Orange Polenta Cake Ingredients

• 200 g unsalted butter, (at room temperature), plus extra for greasing
• 200 g demerara sugar
• 3 large free-range eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 200 g ground almonds
• 100 g coarse polenta
• 2 oranges
• 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
• 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

SYRUP

• 5 cardamom pods
• 250 ml orange juice, (from 3-4 oranges)
• 30 ml orange blossom water
• 125 g golden caster sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions For Mary Berry Orange Polenta Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F/gas 2½. Grease a 20cm springform tin, line the bottom and sides with greaseproof paper, and grease it again.
2. Beat the butter and sugar together in a big bowl until the mixture is light and creamy. Don’t worry if it looks gritty; the sugar will dissolve when it’s cooked. Beat in each egg, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Mix the ground almonds, polenta, orange zest, orange blossom water, and baking powder in a small bowl. Then, add this mixture to the cake mix and stir.
4. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is light brown and the sides of the pan are just starting to come away from the cake.
5. Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a plate. This cake will be very flimsy, so be careful when you take it out of the pan.
6. Crush the cardamom pods and put all the other ingredients in a pot to make the syrup. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has lessened and become a little thicker. Put away to cool down.
7. Use a stick to poke holes all over the cake, and then use a lot of the syrup to brush it. Delicious with a dollop of crème fraiche or cream and a little more syrup drizzled on top.
