Ingredients: (Serves 12)
<\/strong>200g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
2 eggs
2 oranges, zested then segmented
200g almond meal
100g polenta
1 teaspoon baking powder
\u00bc cup honey
\u00bc cup orange blossom water
8 thyme sprigs
\u00bd cup thickened cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
80g goats curd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment:
<\/strong>Non-slip mat
Chopping board
Sharp knife
20cm round cake tin
Electric beaters
Small saucepan
Mixing bowls
Spatula
Whisk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 160\u00b0C (fan-forced). Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric beaters until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir through orange zest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Combine almond meal, polenta and baking powder in a separate large bowl. Gently fold into the wet ingredients. Transfer to the prepared cake tin. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until cake is lightly golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Meanwhile, combine honey, orange blossom water, thyme and \u00bd cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for 5-6 minutes or until a light syrup forms. Discard thyme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Meanwhile, whisk cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add goats curd in batches to keep the mousse as light and fluffy as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Serve slices of warm cake with orange segments, a dollop of goats curd mousse and a drizzle of thyme syrup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
