Bursting with the delicious flavours of the Mediterranean, this Orange, Pistachio and Honey Polenta Cake, is naturally gluten free, dairy free AND refined sugar free. It’s also very easy to make and, of course, totally delicious!
This cake began with a desire to create something a little bit different for Mother’s Day…when you google Mother’s day recipes, the results are a little bit depressing – put it this way, there is a lot of salmon, Victoria sandwich cakes and petits fours!
Not that I have anything against salmon, Victoria sandwich cakes and petits fours, but it all feels very clichéd. I wanted to do something a little bit different…something I would enjoy and, I hope, so would other mothers too. But also something easy – so it could be made FOR the mother in question and not BY her! (Yes I realise that lots of sons/daughters/kids/dads etc. are super competent at making cakes, but lots aren’t! My hubby has a total aversion to making cakes, so consequently I never get cakes on my birthday or Mother’s Day, as my kids aren’t old enough to make them by themselves yet (though give my daughter a year or two…) But seriously this cake is so simple even my husband could make it!)
