How to Make Orange Polenta Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch ring pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs and 2 large egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup fine polenta, ½ cup shredded coconut, the zest of 2 large oranges, and ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared ring pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream or orange sauce.
