Love cinnamon and rhubarb together. This looks fantastic and would be so yummy with my coffee this morning.

thanks for your reply I’d say, stick to the medium ground, my polenta was too coarse lol.

Yes, I think you are supposed to get the grainy crunch from the cornmeal here. The author specified coarse ground so the texture is most noticeable, but I used medium ground, because that’s all I had.

Hello! This looked real good so I thought I’d give it a try. The cake turned out good and it tasted good but the cornmeal stayed grainy. I used a coarse grind and I found the texture unpleasant, is it suppose to stay grainy?! Just wondering.

Stephanie, I love the pictures of your cake and I love Nigel Slater`s books as well! Now that rhubarb is quite abundant I will have to try this wonderful recipe – thanks for posting it!

It’s nice to find a dessert recipe for rhubarb that’s different from the standard rhubarb strawberry pie (not that I don’t love that). I’ll be trying this one.

Hi. You can prob do a quick search for the ingredient conversions, but I think that for the rhubarb you could go with a pound of it plus a couple tablespoons of sugar. Then for the cake, about 3/4 cup both cornmeal and sugar, 1 1/2 c flour and 10 tbsp butter.

this looks like exactly what I want to eat this weekend. Since I don’t have a scale, any suggestion on converting the measurements to cups and tablespoons?
