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 plus 10 minutes resting time for the batter if possible
