Makes 16 pieces
Gather
3 large eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup oat milk
1 cup sunflower oil
2 1/2 cups of polenta
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp rose water
1/2 orange, juiced
2 tsp zest orange
For the syrup
1 cup of caster sugar
80ml water
1 cinnamon stick
Method
1.) Preheat the oven to 150 degrees (fan). Add all the cake ingredients together in a big bowl and whisk until the batter is thick and slightly frothy.
2.) Pour the batter into a pyrex dish or rectangular baking tray (pre-greased) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
3.) While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup by mixing the caster sugar and water in a small saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick. Place the saucepan on a medium temperature and bring the syrup to boil. This should take between 5-8 minutes.
4.) Slowly pour the syrup all over the cake, allowing it to absorb before continuing to pour the remaining amount. Cut the cake up into 16 evenly sized pieces and serve warm!
