Gluten free Orange and Polenta mug cake

I want to make this Cranberry Orange Polenta Cake, but of course I don’t have an orange here. I do however have orange juice. Being that way inclined this morning, I wondered if I could make it in a mug cake size.

I worked out what I needed sort of following the usual mug cake versions:

3TB gluten free plain flour

half teaspoon baking powder

1TB polenta

4tb sugar

2TB oil

2tb orange juice (or juice of one orange?)

2 bantam eggs (or one large regular chook egg)

I mixed up the dry ingredients in the mug first. Added the wet and mixed it all well. Then zapped it on high for 3 mins.

The result? A slightly too sweet, not very orangey, moist mug cake, with nice little chewy bits. Orange zest would *make* this.

ingredients (minus the eggs)

Gluten free, lactose free orange polenta mug cake mix. Quite sloppy.

cooked mix 3 mins later

lovely and moist – not very orangey though.
