POLENTA CAKE -ph. G. GIUSTOLISIPhoto by G. Giustolisi

Amor polenta (“Polenta love”) is the name of a sweet from the traditional Italian Cucina Povera, born in the city of Varese (northern Italy). Made with corn flour (corn meal), used for the preparation of polenta (so it also gluten free), the peculiarity of polenta cake is to use the classic ridged cake tin, specially created for the preparation of this sweet.
The texture and flavor are unique and derived from perfect cooking conditions.
