Polenta Pumpkin Cake

Polenta Pumpkin Cake is a really nice recipe to make this fall. To get this cake right, you will need to drain the steamed pumpkin overnight so make sure you start it a day before! This savory cake tastes great alongside a cheeseboard or with antipasti.

To make it, start the night before by steaming pumpkin and leaving it to drain over a colander overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, make the cake batter by first combining dry ingredients and then the wet ones. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Once combined, fold in feta. Bake in the oven until a skewer comes out clean. Enjoy!

To make Polenta Pumpkin Cake you will need the following ingredients:
