Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- ¾ cup Sugar
- ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 ¼ cups Orange juice, devided
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- ⅓ cup Yellow Cornmeal
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340° F / 170° C. Grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk the egg and the sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl. Add the oil, 3/4 cup of orange juice, vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add the orange zest and stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Take it out of the oven and let it cool down. Drizzle 3-5 tablespoons of fresh orange juice over the cake and let it cool down. You can also poke a few tiny holes into the top of the freshly baked cake using a toothpick. Then, drizzle a little more orange juice over the cake and let it soak in.
- In the meantime, prepare the glazing. Mix powdered sugar with 3 tbsp of orange juice or water until desired consistency is achieved.
- Pour the glazing over the cake and allow it to sit for a bit before serving. Grate a little orange zest on top for decoration, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
