Ingredients:
Yield: 8-10
For the Glaze
- Juice from 4 Clementine mandarin oranges
- 3 tablespoons evaporated cane juice
Getting it done:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Oil bottom and sides of a 10-inch cake pan and line with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and cane juice in a mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Drop speed to medium and add eggs one at a time until just incorporated. Turn off mixer and fold in ground almonds, polenta, flour, baking powder, mandarin juice and zest until just combined.
- Pour mixture into cake pan and bake for 1 hour or until set and golden brown.
