This savoury polenta cake is brilliant as a comfort food, and it's also great for batch cooking and freezing. The cheesy polenta itself is rich and delicious, and the two fillings I picked go together really well to make one incredible cake! Feel free to use any filling you like in here, this recipe is less about "you can use ONLY these ingredients" and more about trying out the concept of layering the polenta to get something sliceable. Have a look further down the description; I'll add links to any other videos that I think will work in here.

I meant to mention this in the video but completely forgot; the cake would be made extra special with a dressing! I'll link to a few down below as well for you

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
