VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE ORANGE POLENTA CAKE

It’s been a while since I last shared cake with you all, in fact it was around this time last year where I shared the gluten-free cherry and almond cake I made for my boyfriend birthday. I’m not sure where the time has gone, and why I haven’t made another cake sooner but I’m breaking this streak with an Italian classic, the polenta cake.

I was flicking through last months edition of Delicious Mag and I came across the moistest looking cake ever, the syrup soaked top had caught my eye and from that moment I just knew I had to make it. The recipe was neither vegan, nor gluten-free but I was up to the challenge; I was going to make a polenta cake, and this is what it looked like;
