Categories     Cake     Bake     Orange     Cornmeal

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar, plus 1/3 cup for topping
1/2 cup dry white wine (or orange juice)
Orange segments, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan with oil; line bottom with a round of waxed or parchment paper, and brush paper with oil.
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. In another bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, 1 cup sugar, and the wine until smooth. Add flour mixture and whisk gently to combine.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/3 cup sugar (the layer of sugar will be thick). Bake until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool in pan 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; gently invert cake gently onto a plate, and remove parchment paper. Reinvert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with orange segments, if desired.
  • Segmenting Oranges
  • Slice off both ends of fruit with a sharp paring knife. Working from top to bottom, cut away rind (including bitter white pith) with long strokes, following the fruit's curve. Then cut between membranes to release each segment.
