Orange Cornmeal Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for the pan
    2 large eggs
    1 cup sugar, plus
    1/3 cup sugar, for the topping
    1/2 cup orange juice (or dry white wine)
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 finely grated orange, zest of
    orange section, for serving
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F 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.
    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.
    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, 35-40 minutes.
    Cool in pan 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; invert cake gently onto a plate, and remove parchment paper. Re-invert cake onto a rack to cool completely. Serve with orange segments, if desired.
