Blueberry and orange polenta cake

by Nourish Magazine

Ingredients

200g butter, soft
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup fine polenta
1 cup ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder
zest of 2 oranges
1 cup blueberries
orange syrup
1/4 cup sugar
juice of 2 oranges

Directions

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each. Add the dry ingredients and orange zest and mix with a wooden spoon. Spread the mixture into a greased and lined 21cm square tin. Top with the blueberries before baking at 170°C for 45-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. While the cake is baking, make the orange syrup by heating the sugar and orange juice in a small pot and stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the syrup over the warm cake, and then allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

We love Soul Farm. It’s on our doorstep and we love the thought of food being grown literally just up the hill from us.
