Delicious Lemon Polenta Cake!

It was my dads birthday on Sunday and he loves eating anything with a lemon flavour, so after making lemon tart after lemon tart over the past few years I wanted to try something different and this months "Taste" Magazine was just the inspiration I needed. I love the Woolworths taste magazine its always full of ideas and new recipes for me to try. I love the "month of meals" recipe special section and the new "Taste Guide to Really Good Cooking" where they incorporate the discount for Woolworths cardholders and make recipes for affordable cooking. This cake had an amazing texture and lemon infused taste. Try it!
