Ingredients
Cake
- 200 g fine polenta
- 200 g pistachio kernels ground or chopped finely
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 4 eggs
- 175 ml honey
- 200 ml olive oil
Glaze
- Juice of 1 orange roughly 50ml/2floz
- 50 ml honey
Decoration
- 50 g pistachio kernels ground or chopped finely
- Zest of 1 orange
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F. Grease a 20cm / 8inch cake tin with a little olive oil and line the base with baking paper. Grease the top of the baking paper with a little olive oil too.
- Mix all the polenta with 200g / 7oz ground/chopped pistachios and orange zest from 1 of the oranges in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs, 175ml / 6floz honey, all the olive oil and the juice from 1 of the oranges in a large bowl or jug.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased and lined tin and cook in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is light gold and a skewer comes out clean.
- Just before the cake is ready to come out, mix 50ml / 2floz orange juice from the second orange with 50ml / 2floz honey and pour over the hot cake whilst still in the tin – leave for at least 10 minutes before removing the cake from the tin.
- Place the cake on a plate or a stand and decorate with remaining pistachios and orange zest.
Notes
- The batter for this cake is VERY wet – therefore I advise NOT using a loose bottomed tin as the batter may not stay in the tin!!
