Olive Oil Orange Cornmeal Cake image

Not your average cake, but delicious nonetheless! The texture of the cornmeal and the uncommon flavor of the oil and the orange make this cake a wonderfully flavorful 'lighter side' option to the cakes usually enjoyed by Americans.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⅓ cups white sugar, divided
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup olive oil
½ cup orange juice
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
zest from 1 orange

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Beat 1 cup sugar, eggs, olive oil, and orange juice together in a large bowl until smooth; add flour, cornmeal, orange zest, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to lightly mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining sugar over the top of the batter.

I made this cake with a different type of oil and it turned out fine. I think you could use any type of oil you have on hand.
