MOIST CHOCOLATE POLENTA CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13-inch cake pan and line it with parchment or waxed paper.
- In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar until very light yellow and fluffy. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy, about 30 seconds more. Fold the egg yolks into the hot chocolate mixture until barely blended. Fold in the whites until barely blended. Sprinkle the brandy and polenta evenly over the surface of the batter and fold in. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center is firm and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay), 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let cool in the pan. Cut into squares, dust with confectioner's sugar, and serve.
NANA'S HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING
A rich, silky homemade chocolate pudding made the same way in our family since the 50's. Cooled pudding will form a dark skin on top, which is our favorite part! Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of polenta. For this recipe, you'll need fine-ground polenta, also known as cornmeal. Avoid using coarse-ground polenta, as it will result in a gritty texture.
- Cook the polenta according to the package instructions. Make sure to stir the polenta constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Use good-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the pudding. Choose a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
- Don't overcook the chocolate. Overcooked chocolate can become grainy and lose its flavor. Remove the chocolate from the heat as soon as it has melted.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
Conclusion:
This chocolate polenta pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, rich, and chocolatey, with a hint of cornmeal that gives it a unique texture. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it as a special treat for yourself, this pudding is sure to be a hit.
