Polenta Lemon Cake

An easy to make recipe that takes 20 minutes to prepare and 120 minutes to cook.

You'll need:

   - Butter: 150gm

   - Lemon: 2

   - Eggs: 3

   - Golden caster sugar: 250gm

   - Ground Almond (almond powder): 200gm

The recipe:

Use a cake tin or a deep(ish) baking tray and preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 

Put the 2 lemons in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to boil and drain. Then put more cold water and simmer for 1 hour. When done, drain them, slice the lemons in half, remove the seeds and skin and turn the remaining into a puree using a blender. 

Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender and mix until all becomes a soft paste.

When the cake is over, you can sprinkle icing sugar on top for decoration.
