Tender: Volume II, A cook's guide to the fruit garden

Rhubarb cinnamon polenta cake : page 32

Really delicious cake! I used lemon zest instead of the orange and it worked well. I made 2 smaller cakes; one was 6" and the other 7" in diameter. These smaller cakes took about 30-35 min to bake at 350 convection. As others have said, this dessert is a bit like a crumble pie/cake. Loved the polenta in it. I'm going to try freezing one of them for later. Will definitely repeat this cake. Edited: slices froze perfectly.
