This light and fabulously citrussy cake is easy to bake – plus, it’s gluten-free. It’ll last for around a week in an airtight container (if you can keep yourself from grabbing another slice).

Method

step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Grease a 23cm cake tin with olive oil and line with greaseproof paper.
step 2
Zest and juice the orange (2), lemon (2) and lime (2) for the cake mix.
step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat four egg (4) with a pinch of salt (1 pinch). Once the eggs are foaming, add the caster sugar (180 g) and beat the mixture again. Add the olive oil (80 ml), ground almonds (180 g), vanilla essence (1 tsp) and zest and juice of the oranges, lemon and lime and beat again.
step 4
In another bowl, mix the polenta (150 g) and baking powder (10 g) together, before carefully folding the two mixtures together.
step 5
Pour the cake mixture into your tin, sprinkle with flaked almonds (1 handful) and bake for around 50 minutes (or until a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean).
step 6
While the cake is in the oven, make the syrup. Add the orange juice (1), lemon juice (1) and lime juice (1) into a pan with the sugar (75 g) and gently heat until the syrup is looking shiny and glossy.
step 7
Carefully remove the cake from the tin onto a plate, prick the cake with a skewer and pour over the syrup while the cake is still warm.
step 8
Enjoy the cake by itself or with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, crème fraîche or yogurt.
