Polenta Cake
So an Italian without polenta in their pantry, not likely! Polenta is the name given to both cornmeal and the dish made from it. This recipe is all yellow my friends, cornmeal, lemons and eggs.

Polenta is a major Italian staple dish. Dry polenta ( a coarsely ground cornmeal) is added to boiling salted water or stock and stirred using a wooden spoon, until it’s thick and creamy. These days a one minute wonder polenta can be purchased, so it’s cooked in a flash, otherwise the normal grounded polenta can take up to twenty minutes. Read on for the recipe…
