Lemon Polenta Cake

Lemon Polenta Cake- gluten free and delicious 

If you want to make your own the recipe is under the cut:-
The picture doesn't really do this cake justice, it is moist, crumbly and intensely lemony. Usually gluten-free food is dry and doesn't taste quite right, this cake however is an exception. Plus it makes your whole house smell like lemons while you bake it.

Ingredients:

• 200g unsalted  butter 
• 200g caster sugar
• 200g ground almonds
• 100g Polenta 
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 medium eggs
• 2 lemons (juice and zest)
• 125g icing sugar 

Method:

1. Heat oven to 180 C
2. Beat butter and sugar together 
3. Add almonds, polenta and baking power to the mixture. Then add the 3 eggs. Mix well until all the mixture has combined. It will be a brighter yellow than normal cake mix and have a slightly gritty texture (don't worry, it doesn't taste like grit) 
4. Add lemon zest 
5. Pour into a cake tin (you'll need a large one, it's a big cake). Bake for 30 mins. It will be a bit wobbly, but if you stick in a knife and it comes out mostly clean it's done.
6. Keep the cake in the tin so the syrup doesn't run off. 
7. Make a syrup by boiling together the lemon juice and the icing sugar. It is ready when the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour on top of the cake and leave to set.
