Notes
- This recipe is modelled after the Orange Polenta Cake recipe in Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients cookbook
- *Almond pulp from homemade almond milk can be set aside (wet pulp keeps up to 1 week in the fridge and over 1 month in the freezer), then oven dried at a low temperature (200°F) and blended to create a uniform texture
- **Most grocery stores stock degerminated and hulled cornmeal, which has a less "corny" flavour and is shelf-stable once opened (e.g., Purity brand), unlike whole-grain versions
- **Finer grinds of cornmeal produce a lighter texture; if the product is labelled polenta, it's likely coarser. If you're still confused, Fine Cooking does a great job explaining the differences!
Ingredients
- 10 juicing oranges (or 5 regular oranges)
- 9 oz. honey (approx. ¾ cup) can sub sugar (brown or cane sugar preferable) but will need to compensate for the moisture lost in the cake (see notes below)
- 1 cup olive oil

- ½ cup cornmeal ** aka polenta
