Well on The Circle a few days ago they had a recipe (see, good segments!) for olive oil and polenta cake which looked: yummy! I thought it would be nice to make a healthier version of the orange yoghurt and polenta cake (i.e. no butter) I made not so long ago. Although I was a little cautious about using olive oil in the recipe because once I made this super healthy cake with olive oil (and pumpkin...) and the taste of the oil was really overpowering!
After watching the segment, I searched for a similar cake and came across this recipe from the Gourmet Traveller and decided to give it a whizz this afternoon...
Look at that fabulous yellow colour!
Where's has it all gone?!
This cake is delightful :) It has a real lemony tang to it as well, courtesy of the rind and juice of 2 lemons! The polenta gives it a bit of a gritty, almost nutty taste, which I liked! And it's quite healthy too. Two thumbs up!

I usually clean my room, paint my nails and throw on a good movie. Baking is far from my mind but I love the look of your cake :)
ReplyDeleteJamie-lee- Oh I forgot, movies are great too! :) x

p.s. oh, totally guilty of The Circle style shows & B&B when I was home during Uni too...Brooke and Ridge - are they still together? hehe
Heidi- ah yes, Audrey is great! I think I need to get out Roman Holiday soooon :) You know, I think Brooke and Ridge are still together ;) Perhaps there third marriage though..?? haha x
ReplyDeleteOh don't feel guilty about watching The Circle Hannah - love that the girls on there enjoy having a laugh (and it gives me a chuckle too)! I do think Brooke and Ridge are together at the moment - but times are tough in their relationship (aren't they always?) ha ha. During this rainy weather I try and catch up on all those niggling errands I never usually seem to get around to.
