Polenta cake is a personal favourite of mine. You wouldn’t know it is naturally gluten free so it’s perfect for those with allergens. The orange and lemon juice adds a fresh flavour that tastes brilliant served hot or cold with cream or custard, and reminds me of autumn so is perfect for this time of year.
