Serves 12
150g Girolomoni organic ‘00’ flour
25g La Grande Ruota yellow quick cook polenta
½ tsp baking powder
100g caster sugar
75g cold butter, cubed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
260g El Navarrico bitter orange marmalade
Preheat oven to 160ºC fan bake. Butter a 20cm springform cake tin. Put flour, polenta, baking powder, sugar and butter in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the egg with a fork until evenly combined. Press three-quarters of the dough into the base of the tin then spread with marmalade. Crumble remaining dough on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Remove from the oven. Run a small sharp knife around the edge of the cake so that the marmalade doesn’t stick to the tin. Leave to cool. Dust with icing sugar and slice to serve.
