Margarita, the link doesn’t take me to your recipe. It sounds like a combination I would love though.
I worked with what I had, and my ‘cake’ turned out more like a tart… I’m going to have to try this one again when I have all the ingredients I need on hand, because I really enjoy cornmeal-based recipes!

This was a really great recipe! We used fresh apples instead of apricots which was a delicious addition. Next time we are thinking of making it an apple and caramel upside-down cake.

Because my husband has a grain sensitivity, I used almond flour instead of cornmeal and flour. And I also used zucchini and apples instead of apricots. Great for breakfast!

I used one of my favourite combinations: cherries and almonds. I was skeptical about adding polenta to a dessert at first, but we loved this cake. Thanks for finding it in the book, Jen!

I made a savory cake with fresh corn kernels as an accompaniment to chili. An unfortunate plumbing situation made me hesitant to cook this weekend, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone!

i used fresh peaches and it turned out really nice. we’re going gluten free this month but since i was sharing with coworkers, i kept pretty close to the original recipe.

Instead of a cake, I made apricot and fig scones for breakfast and used brown rice flour instead of polenta. YUM!

I couldn’t find apricots at my farmer’s market, so I improvised! http://www.givingtable.org/blog/2012/9/17/the-food-matters-project-improvising-at-the-market.html
Jen, I LOVED this recipe!!! Thank you for picking it! I couldn’t picture changing this recipe–it sounded exactly like what I was in the mood for–so I made it as-is! Delicious.

Glad you all liked the recipe. I cannot wait to move into our new place and start baking again.
I made a Meyer Lemon Polenta cake and it was fantastic! Thanks Jen, great pick!

Hi Everyone…I think we need to send our prayers and thoughts to Joanne from Eats Well With Others.

Loving all your fresh fruit and savory versions! I stuck true to the recipe for the cake (I’ve previously never made anything like it) and added a dark cherry compote.

*praying for you and your father Joanne! Thanks for letting us know Lexi.
I wanted to make something more savory but it didn’t work out exactly. Tomatoes should have been sun dried. Oh well.

Everyone’s cakes look so good! We didn’t have much time for playing in the kitchen this weekend, so we didn’t get a chance to try it…yet.
