A light and moist cake made with fine cornmeal (polenta) and ground almonds. If you use gluten free baking powder then the cake is completely gluten free. Try using limes or oranges instead of lemon. I used the spare lemon juice mixed with icing sugar to make a drizzle icing for the top. This recipe will make a large cake but for a smaller family size cake just half the quantities.

Biscotti are very easy to make and keep in an airtight container for weeks. Replace the cranberries in the recipe with more almonds if you prefer not to add the fruit. Or add other types of nuts of dried fruit. Just watch the temperature of the oven when drying out the biscotti so as to make sure the cranberries do not burn.
