Blood Orange Olive Cornmeal Cake

A Bundt cake is always perfect and a good idea. Whether you need to supply a dessert to the neighborhood covered dish supper, or you want to bake a treat for a sick or hurting friend, a Cornmeal cake is the right choice. Similar to pound cakes, this easy to make, easy to keep, and easy to transport.  This Blood Orange Olive Cornmeal Cake is distinctive from your traditional Bundt cake recipes in that it contains olive oil and cornmeal, which means it has a bit of a savory taste yet is still sweet enough for a breakfast bread or late afternoon tea.  To make sure your shapely Bundt cake slips easily out of the pan, use wax paper or a gloved hand to grease the pan thoroughly with softened butter. Sprinkle some flour in the pan, hold it over a sink, and tilt the pan in a circular motion in order to distribute the flour evenly. Then flip the pan over and tap out the excess flour to prevent a buildup of grease and flour on the finished cake. Greasing and flouring all the crevices will ensure the pan design is sharply defined, while helping the cake release easily.
