Polenta Bundt Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, No Dates)

Some time ago I made this lemon pumpkin polenta cake. It proofed very popular and I got heaps of requests for a version free from dried fruits.

Then I got this nice comment, saying that this recipe would be lovely in a bundt cake. Oooooh yeaaaah!

Turns out that yes, polenta is amazing in a bundt cake. The texture is rich and moist and absolutely delicious. And this time it is not only vegan and gluten-free but also free from dried fruits such as dates.

I added some chocolate glazing and chopped, roasted almonds and it was absolutely perfect! 🙂
