Polenta cake with orange sauce is a delightful dessert that combines the warm, nutty flavor of polenta with the bright, citrusy notes of oranges. This rustic Italian cake is made with a base of polenta, a type of cornmeal that is cooked until thick and creamy. The polenta is then mixed with eggs, sugar, and a touch of vanilla extract to create a smooth, rich batter. Finally, the batter is poured into a greased baking dish and topped with a sweet and tangy orange sauce. The result is a moist, flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with flour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F/gas 2½. Grease a 20cm springform tin, line the bottom and sides with greaseproof paper and grease again.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and creamy - don't worry if it looks gritty, as the sugar will dissolve when it's cooked. Beat in the eggs, one by one, then stir in the vanilla essence.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground almonds, polenta, orange zest, orange blossom water and baking powder, then stir this into the cake mix.
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the surface is light brown and the cake is coming away slightly from the sides of the tin.
- Remove the tin from the oven, leave to cool for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a plate. This cake will be quite fragile, so handle carefully as you remove it.
- To make the syrup, crush the cardamom pods, then put all of the ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over a medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until reduced and thickened slightly. Set aside to cool.
- Prick the cake all over with a skewer, then brush generously with the syrup. Delicious served with a dollop of crème fraîche or yoghurt and an extra drizzle of syrup.

Steps:
- Set up a grill for cooking over indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- Spray the bottom of a loaf pan with the cooking spray; line with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray one more time. Set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, polenta, baking powder and salt. Set aside. To a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and granulated sugar. Cream until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolk and beat again to fully incorporate. Add the ricotta, Greek yogurt, vanilla and orange zest and beat again to combine, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix by hand to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then place on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid of the grill and bake until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to an hour. Remove from the grill and let cool completely.
- For the peach topping: Meanwhile, add the marmalade, orange juice and peaches to a pot, place over indirect heat and bring to a gentle simmer for the flavors to meld together, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Make the mascarpone whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar with a blender until whipped cream forms. Fold in the mascarpone and vanilla.
- Remove the cake from the pan, then slice and serve with the peach topping and mascarpone whipped cream spooned over the top.

ORANGE POLENTA CAKE
This is a delicious cake. Moist and syrupy. It travels well as it is quite a heavy cake and keeps for up to a week. It also freezes well if you slice it to single serves and wrap in cling-wrap If you do not require a gluten free cake use regular flour and omit the xantahn gum. A variation to this recipe is to stir in chocolate chunks last thing before pouring the mix into the tin to bake.

- For a gluten-free version of the polenta cake, use almond flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the polenta on a box grater.

- Serve the polenta cake warm or at room temperature.
