About Polenta cake
Polenta Cake is a moist, textured dessert that originates from Italian cuisine, where polenta—a versatile cornmeal—is a staple ingredient. Typically, this cake combines finely ground polenta with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and often a citrus element like lemon or orange for added brightness. Some versions include ground almonds for extra richness and a nutty flavor. Polenta Cake is naturally gluten-free if made without regular wheat flour, making it a suitable option for those with gluten sensitivities. Its cornmeal base provides complex carbohydrates and a small boost of fiber, while the inclusion of nuts can offer heart-healthy fats and protein. However, like most cakes, it is generally high in sugar and saturated fats, which should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Polenta Cake embodies the rustic elegance of Italian baking, offering both comforting flavors and a delightful crumbly texture.
