It was very nice. <br/><br/>I did round two of flourless choc cake today. I used an orange/spice dark chocolate bar from Green and Black's and painted the cake with La Belle Orange liqueur when I put it on the plate. To be served with vanilla ice cream tonight.

I love, love, love the texture and taste that polenta lends to cakes, and this looks like a fine specimen indeed. Oh, but doesn’t that look delicious.

The loose crumb and moistness (here I go again) intrigues me. I'm surprised there is only half a cup of sugar in the whole cake! The apples and butter/sugar topping do make a great addition.<br/><br/>A 9" cake between you and Joe? Oh my! :) I am guessing Bobby can't share in the feast..<br/><br/>Divulge <i>everything!</i> Kidding :) Ah, I’ve never tasted polenta cake but I’ve heard of chocolate polenta cake (from an issue of Food and Wine when I was 8y/o, from Gale Gand).
