sweet polenta cake with red lentils and apricot jam loaf cake

Made with polenta, red lentils and apricot jam, you’ve found yourself a delicious recipe that probably could become one of your favorite loaf cake recipes.

The cake has a pleasantly gritty texture thanks to polenta. It also contains red lentils, which you most likely wouldn’t know unless you were told so. Red lentils are high in protein and fiber, rich in B-vitamins, a great source of iron, help to lose weight, and the list could go on and on and on…

Try it with tea, coffee or vanilla cream and you’ll not be disappointed.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
Boil lentils in water according to the instructions on the package*.
Drain the lentils and press out excessive liquid with a spoon.
Use the blender (hand blender is also good to use) to blend together the lentils, oil and eggs for about 20 seconds.
Then add the remaining ingredients to the lentil mixture and blend until a paste. It won't be a thick batter, but that's how it should look.
Place in a greased 25x12 cm cake tin and bake for 45-50 minutes just below the center of the oven until a knife comes out clean.

  Hi Janice,
  
  Thanks for your message.
  These are European measurements, so in grams etc. But online you can find a lot of tools which can help you easily convert to any measurements you need :)
  
  Have a great day,
  Jeanette

  The polenta is dry. It looks like cornmeal & is similar to polenta but it isn't cornmeal. Look for polenta in Fry's, Sprouts, Whole Foods.

  It's dry you use like flour for cakes or breads etc. It's an Italian grain.

  Hi Donna,
  
  Cookster is indeed right, the polenta should be dry :)
