Instructions
Ricotta Polenta Cake
Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Grease a 23 cm bundt cake tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Using an electric beater, beat the castor sugar and Westfalia Butter Flavoured Avocado Oil together for 5 minutes. Place the melted chocolate, eggs, flour, ricotta, polenta, lemon juice and vanilla into a food processor and blend until smooth.
Combine the blended chocolate mixture with the sugar and oil mixture and mix to combine.
Pour the mixture into the bundt tin, smooth the top and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack.
Sauce
Place all of the ingredients for the sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 1 minute. Using a hand blender, blend until smooth. Allow to cool.
To Serve
Pour the caramel sauce over the cake. Place the cream into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle and pipe dollops of cream on top of the cake. Scatter the peanut brittle over the cake. Slice and serve.
Notes
Leftover cake can be served for dessert by serving slices of cake with warm custard and vanilla ice cream.
