Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lemons zested & juiced (see method below)
  • 2 cups Self Raising Flour
  • 0.5 cup Polenta
  • 5 Kangaroo Island Eggs
  • 1.5 cups caster sugar
  • 0.75 cups Pons Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • icing sugar to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C & line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
  • Zest lemons using a grater or microplane, set aside zest. Juice lemons, discarding pith & seeds, set aside.
  • Combine self raising flour, polenta and lemon zest in a medium size mixing bowl, stir to combine.
  • Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, add sugar and whisk until the sugar dissolves into the eggs.
  • Gently pour reserved lemon juice into the egg mixture & whisk gently before adding the olive oil. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens & emulsifies, until glossy.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients - (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients (egg mixture) whisk until combined and the cake batter is lump free & smooth.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake tin and bake for 45-55 mins, until golden on top & cooked through. If the cake still jiggles at the centre, continue to cook for 5 min intervals until done.
  • Remove cake from the oven and rest for 15 mins to cool, before dusting with icing sugar to serve.
