Candied oranges sit atop this delectably light tea cake inspired by Italian polenta cake. Rather than the finely ground polenta that is traditionally used in Italy, we sub cornmeal, which is similar in texture and more widely available in the States. Our version is also gluten free and refined sugar free, making a lightly sweetened tea cake that is better for you. If you prefer a little more sweetness, simply add the syrup in step seven.

We took inspiration from traditional Spanish paella for our vegan version featuring mixed mushrooms. Typically made with saffron-infused rice and a mix of meat and/or seafood, our vegan version relies on mushrooms for their meaty umami flavor and uses the more widely available arborio rice instead of traditional bomba rice. We’ve left out the saffron, but feel free to add it along with the paprika! Although the recipe is not authentic paella, it is incredibly flavorful and delicious and feels special to serve for family or guests.
