"This doesn't make a big cake it's just enough for a few people but it rises quite high, it's really moist with a delicate orange flavor, it makes a lovely dessert and there's no need for a mixer just mix by hand! Dry white wine can be subbed for the orange juice"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Grease bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan; line bottom with a round of wax or parchment paper, and brush paper with oil.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1/3 cup sugar (topping will be thick).

Step 5

Bake until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 6

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.
