Almond, Lemon and Polenta cake

Almond, Lemon and Polenta cake

A light and moist cake made with fine cornmeal (polenta) and ground almonds. If you use gluten free baking powder then the cake is completely gluten free. Try using limes or oranges instead of lemon. I used the spare lemon juice mixed with icing sugar to make a drizzle icing for the top. This recipe will make a large cake but for a smaller family size cake just half the quantities.

  • Time: 15 minutes to mix and 1 hour to cook
  • Complexity: easy

This loaf is very easy to make and is best eaten the day of making. Try swapping the apricots and the brazil nuts for dates and walnuts, or anything else you fancy. Nice sliced and served with butter.
