Steps:
- Adjust rack to lower third of oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food tube pan. For best results, have all ingredients at room temperature.
- Sift together the flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, preferably with a paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy and smooth. Add the brown and granulated sugars; beat until light. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low; add the pumpkin puree and polenta. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the milk, ending with the dry ingredients, and stir just until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out free of raw batter. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the wire rack; remove the cake pan. Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree and will make your cake more moist and delicious. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
- Use a bundt pan. A bundt pan will give your cake a beautiful shape and will help it to cook evenly. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly and will prevent it from melting.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin polenta cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Try it with a simple glaze or a decadent cream cheese frosting. No matter how you choose to serve it, this cake is sure to be a hit.
