  • ⅓ cup corn flour (finely ground cornmeal)
  • 4 large eggs, yolks and whites divided
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350°. Line an 8″ or 9″ springform pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray. Combine ⅓ cup sugar and flours in a bowl. Whip ⅓ cup sugar and egg yolks in another bowl with an electric mixer about 5 minutes. Beat in zest, oil, lemon juice, and orange juice. Fold in dry ingredients. Beat egg whites and salt in a third bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Beat in remaining ⅓ cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold ⅓ of egg-white mixture into batter. Fold in remaining egg white mixture in two parts, mixing well. Pour batter into pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; cool. Invert pan, remove parchment, and turn cake right side up onto a plate.
