Blood orange tea cake
Cakes
A few years ago I made a roasted polenta pear cake. It was really tasty but I forgot about it and never made it again. While reading this month's Bon Appetit, I saw a recipe for an upside blood orange polenta cake which reminded me that long forgotten pear cake. And of course, once I saw the Food52 theme, I immediately began to play with the idea of incorporating those flavors into a polenta cake. My husband immediately turned up his nose when I mentioned cake and feta in the same breath but I solidered on. The first try at an upside down carmelized blood orange cake wasn't quite a success. The pith of the orange was too bitter and thick as evidenced by my husband's plate - all the cake was gone but all the orange slices had been picked off the top and placed to the side. I decided to try again, tweaking the cake ingredients and adding a glaze. Success - all the plates were scraped clean! This is a perfect cake for breakfast or for an afternoon or bedtime snack with a cup of tea.
