Hello, hello! I know, I haven\u2019t shared a recipe in a while, but I promise today\u2019s recipe will be worth the wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to tell you about this fabulous Italian cake, \u00ab\u00a0Amore di Polenta\u00a0\u00bb! I had never heard of this cake before, but just hearing its name made me want to make it. Also known as “Dolce di Varese,” as it originates from the beautiful city of Varese in northern Lombardy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Amore di Polenta\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0Dolce di Varese\u00a0\u00bb is a delightful sponge cake made with polenta and almonds. It is baked in a special mold with ridges, but you can easily use a regular loaf pan as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Italy, people enjoy this cake with a nice espresso or a glass of wine, celebrating the dolce vita!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am revealing the elegant version of an exceptional chef, Micha\u00ebl Bartocelli<\/a>, the executive pastry chef of the Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris. This pastry maestro has decided to revisit this iconic recipe by adding Piedmont hazelnuts and a lemon paste, giving it a taste fit for the finest palaces. Who would have thought that a simple cake could achieve such sophistication? I really love this cake; it is just AMAZING! So moist and flavorful that I have already had to make it five times (yes, yes, you heard that right!). I even had the pleasure \u2014 or rather the audacity\u00a0\ud83d\ude05, to give it to my husband’s Italian boss. When his partner, Francesca, asked for the recipe after trying it, it felt like winning an award in Italian cooking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready to love this special cake! And don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you. Now, let\u2019s go to the recipe. Buon appetito! <\/p>\n
