2 teaspoon(s) aluminum free baking powder
- zest 1 organic orange
2 teaspoon(s) orange extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan (for a taller cake use an 8 inch). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, honey, eggs, sugar, extract and orange juice. Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and orange zest and combine.
Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle the top with remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan or a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. I baked mine for 40.
Cool the cake in the pan for about 20-30 minutes before putting on a plate. Serve with orange segments, chocolate sauce, ice cream etc.
