Orange Cornmeal Cake

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for pan

2 large eggs

1 cup sugar, plus 1/3 cup for topping

1/2 cup dry white wine, (or orange juice)

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

Orange segments, for serving (optional)

Directions

1.   Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan with oil; line bottom with a round of wax or parchment paper, and brush paper with oil.

2.   In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, 1 cup sugar, and wine until smooth. Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and orange zest; whisk gently to combine.

3.   Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1/3 cup sugar (topping will be thick). Bake until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

4.   Cool in pan 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; invert cake gently onto a plate, and remove parchment paper. Reinvert cake onto a rack to cool completely. Serve with orange segments, if desired.
