Ingredients

  • 15 g Unsalted Butter
  • 100 ml Olive Oil
  • 250 g Honey
  • 3 Egg
  • 3 Lemon
  • 125 g Natural Yoghurt
  • 95 g Ground Almond
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 130 g Polenta
  • 15 g Thyme
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan.

  2. 2

    Grease a 20cm cake tin with melted butter and line it with baking parchment.

  3. 3

    Add your olive oil and 200g of honey into a large bowl. Crack in your eggs, then add the zest of one lemon along with its juice. Spoon in your Onken Set Natural Yogurt. Mix to combine.

  4. 4

    Add your ground almonds, baking powder, polenta and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Pour your batter into your cake tin and bake for 35 mins - a skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, pour your remaining 50g of honey into a small saucepan. Zest and juice your remaining 2 lemons, then add your thyme sprigs. Warm over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth syrupy mixture.

  7. 7

    Allow your cake to cool in its tin for 10 mins, then poke little holes in the top with a skewer. Pour over the syrup, then allow the cake to cool completely in its tin.

  8. 8

    Cut into slices and serve with a dollop of Onken Set Natural Yogurt and a few extra thyme leaves.
