This cake was amazing! I loved the unique flavor and texture. The polenta gave it a nice density and the figs added a pop of sweetness. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for something different and delicious.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the figs had been used sparingly. Otherwise, it was a good cake.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I overcooked it? I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this cake.

This cake was good, but not great. The polenta made it a bit too dense for my taste. The figs were also a bit too sweet. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the polenta had been replaced with flour and the figs had been used sparingly.

This polenta fig cake was a delightful surprise! I had never tried polenta in a cake before, but it added a lovely moistness and slightly nutty flavor. The figs were the perfect complement, adding a touch of sweetness and chewiness. The cake was easy
