About
An impressive bake to look at and eat, yet, really easy to make.
Did you know Polenta cakes did not originate in Italy? Even though polenta is such a classic ingredient in their cuisine, this type of cake originates elsewhere. Still, we should be thanking the Italians for such a rich ingredient.
This cake is a match made in heaven, the tanginess of the raspberry combines exquisitely with the earthiness of the polenta, resulting in a sweet and floral sponge of dreams. And, if you are looking for a real treat, top it with some white chocolate for that final touch of indulgence.
It's the perfect pair for a cuppa and will definitely leave those who try it asking for the recipe.
