Light and moist polenta citrus cakes made with extra virgin olive oil for a refreshing twist.
Ingredients:
  • 150.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 75.00 gm polenta
  • 75.08 gm extra virgin olive oil (see notes)
  • 111.38 gm maple syrup, plus extra to serve
  • 20.00 ml finely grated orange rind
  • 86.63 gm orange juice
  • 80g packet pistachio kernels
  • 2 small oranges
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced and grease a 12-hole muffin pan (1/3-cup-capacity).
  • Combine flour, polenta, oil, maple syrup, orange rind, orange juice, eggs, and pistachios in a food processor. Pulse until pistachios are finely chopped and mixture is fully blended. Spoon mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Peel and thinly slice 1 orange into 12 rounds. Top each cake with an orange slice. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and firm. Let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack lined with baking paper.
  • Drizzle the tops generously with more maple syrup. Allow them to cool and serve the cakes warm or cold.
