Italian Polenta Cake

At last winter was almost ending and so the day arrived to make this Italian polenta cake.

It was all of a sudden that I realized there was a lot of corn polenta flour left in our pantry and summer season was approaching.

Well, I thought I be better asking my wife if she could make this cake recipe now rather than soon.

I motivated the hurry with which she had to make it by saying that the cake will be of course to much caloric for a summer dessert.

Guess what?

With my satisfaction she approved without any hesitation, I was amazed because usually she lacks time and that's always the same...

But what a lucky man I am today, because she could cook it for me...

Just one thing, I'm sorry for Not being able to provide more step-by-step pictures, I just arrived too late... Only on time to eat a slice!

You can try too! This polenta cake is very easy to make, and it is an alternative way to consume that yellow cornmeal instead of making polenta the old classic way...
