I am a ridiculous fan of Gale Gand. Having tasted some of her desserts in Chicago, I'm willing to try any of her recipes. The first time I made this, I used an organic polenta which was much too grainy. The taste was fantastic but the texture was very gravely. The second time I used cornmeal and it was perfect. There are only a handful of ingredients to you have to have good technique and there's something soothing about making this cake (if that makes any sense. It's not one I could make with my kids running around; it requires attention. I made it in a bundt pan instead so it wouldn't look so much like a brownie. It worked perfectly.

This cake never fails to wow! I bake it in a large professional round cake pan. Then I dust a pattern on top with confect. sugar, serve on a large lace doilied cake stand with garnish (berries, other. Looks like a high end bakery dessert, tastes like it as well.

This recipe was so easy and yummy! Any cake that I don't have to make a frosting for is a keeper for me! I made this for a mexican themed party that I was going to and I made 2, because I wanted to make sure to have enough (two I thought would be a lot for a party of 14, but they were gone! Just make sure to use fine cornmeal if your going to use that otherwise might be a little too grainy.
