I haven't baked a single cake in such a long time for so many reasons, and recently I decided to change that! I used polenta in the past but have never thought of utilizing this ingredient as a key element of a delicious, super-bright yellow cake. With a lemon twist, this lemon polenta cake will melt in your mouth and give you so much pleasure - I promise!

The cake is nicely moist inside yet perfectly crispy on the outside, and the scent, as well as texture of this cake, are just on point!

To make this cake you only need a few ingredients and a bit of time - but let me tell you this - It's Totally Worth It! Polenta is packed with micronutrients, so it's not just a sweet dessert but also an awesome high-protein and mineral-dense snack - for those like me, who pay attention to these things!

See how fluffy and moist it looks?! oMG!

  Perhaps it has changed since you last saw it, but there are measurements in cups and standard tablespoons as well as gram equivalents.
