Can I used cooked polenta in a cake?

I was going to make an enticing lemon polenta cake that uses almond meal instead of flour. Unfortunately, I was only able to find a log of precooked polenta -- can I use that in the cake (recipe does not specify, so I assume it means dried polenta).

    I can't imagine how you could use that in the recipe....I assume that when they said "polenta" they meant cornmeal.

      +1 unless you are planning to make a brick. How on earth could it possibly rise? Go buy some plain old corn meal if that is what you need (fine as possible),
