Orange And Chocolate Polenta Cake

• For the cake
• 4 eggs
• 170 milliliters olive oil
• 170 grams caster sugar
• 2 zested oranges
• 100 grams ground almonds
• 140 grams fine polenta
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 100 grams dark chocolate
• For the syrup
• 150 milliliters freshly squeezed orange juice
• 55 grams caster sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 180u0b0C
2. Grease and line a loaf tin
3. Beat together the egg yolks, oil, 150g caster sugar and orange zest until smooth
4. Mix the dry ingredients together
5. Fold the dry ingredients into oil and sugar mixture
6. Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks, then beat in the remaining 20g caster sugar
7. Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture a few tablespoons at a time. Don't worry if this seems tricky at first, the mixture will loosen up as you go
8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
9. While it's baking make the syrup: heat the fruit juice with the caster sugar until the sugar dissolves, then let it boil for 1 minute, before leaving it to cool
10. Pierce the cake with the toothpick
11. When the cake is cool, pour over the syrup and leave to seep through the cake before cutting in!
