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.

I love not having to remember to go to the shop and always having a plentiful supply of amazing quality, seasonal, organic, local produce on hand! Plus the variety and recipe card definitely makes me more adventurous with my cooking.
