Ingredients
180g/6.3oz unsalted butter, softened and diced
200g/7oz caster sugar
3 large eggs
finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
130g/4.6oz ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder, sifted
100g/3.5oz fine polenta
icing sugar for dusting
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C conventional oven/170°C fan/375°F/gas mark 5 and butter a 20cm non-stick cake tin with a removable base, at least 5cm deep.
Simply place all the ingredients for the cake in a mixing bowl or food processor and cream together until the mixture is smooth and creamy but slightly grainy.
Transfer to the prepared tin, smoothing the surface with a spoon.
Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden, risen and firm and coming away from the sides. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean. (I actually had to bake it for 60 mins as it wasn't cooked after the recommended time.)
Run a knife around the sides of the cake and remove and place on a cooling rack to cool.
To make this cake extra citrusy, pierce some holes in the cake with a skewer/cocktail stick and drizzle some lemon syrup onto the top of the cake. Gently heat up the juice of half a lemon in a pan with about 2 tablespoons of icing (or caster) sugar and let it reduce into a syrup. Do this to taste…if you want it sweeter, add more a little sugar. If you want it a little more tart, add more lemon juice.
