Orange Cornmeal Cake

This is a simple, quick and very satisfying cake. The olive oil gives it a subtle fruitiness that goes well with the orange. A little sugar on top before baking gives it a satisfying crunch and a sweetness. If I suddenly decide to whip up a little something for dessert and it's already past 4pm, this is a reliable recipe - you make it in one bowl with a whisk (no beaters required) and then pop it in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

We've served it with whipped cream, ice cream, yogurt or just plain.
