Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 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 wine 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 to 40 minutes.
• Cool in pan 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; invert cake gently onto a plate, and remove parchment paper. Reinvert cake onto a rack to cool completely. Serve with orange segments, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour a 12-cup (or larger) capacity bundt pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and black pepper until well combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine brown sugar, butter and olive oil. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds in between each egg. Add the pumpkin purée and sour cream, and mix until well combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure an evenly mixed batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
• Set the cake, still in its pan, on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then use the tip of a knife to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the glaze: Once the cake is cool, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter can go from brown and nutty to acrid and burnt in mere moments.
• Transfer butter and all the brown bits from the pan to a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and salt until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thin, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too thick, add a few drops of water.
• Transfer the cake to a serving platter and pour the glaze evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pepitas if desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Position oven rack in middle of oven, preheat to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 9-inch bundt pan.
• With a mixer and paddle attachment, beat butter, zest and sugar until light and fluffy- about 3 minutes.
• One at a time, add egg and egg yolks, beating well and scraping sides of bowl after each addition.
• Beat in pumpkin and vanilla.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, stir in cornmeal.
• Add dry mixture to pumpkin batter in 3 staqges, stirring gently but thoroughly with rubber spatula after each addition.
• Do not overwork batter.
• In a clean bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks.
• Gently fold whites into batter with spatula until there are no longer any white streaks.
• Scrape batter into pan, smooth surface.
• Bake until top is springy when lightly touched, the sides should be pulling away from the pan and a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean- about 40-50 minutes.
• Let cool for 20 minutes and then invert cake onto a rack to cool completely.
• Dust with powdered sugar if you like.
• For Orange Syrup: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine orange juice and sugar, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
• Boil without stirring for 2 minutes.
• Serve each slice with a drizzle of warm syrup accompanied by yougurt or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch fluted tube pan and set it aside. Cream the butter, sugar, and orange zest together until light and fluffy. Add the whole egg and the two egg yolks, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Beat in the pumpkin puree.
• Sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt. Add to the pumpkin batter in three or four stages, blending gently but thoroughly after each. Stir in the final addition of dry ingredients by hand if you have been using a mixer, so as not to overwork the batter. In a clean small bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Fold into the batter, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top of the cake is springy when lightly touched, the sides are beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan and a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely. This cake keeps very well for several days, well wrapped, and it freezes beautifully for up to 2 months.
• For the syrup, combine the orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat, bringing the syrup to a boil. Boil without stirring for 2 minutes, then use immediately, or allow to cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days (reheat gently).
• To serve, place one slice of the pumpkin orange cake on each plate. Spoon a few tablespoons of the warm syrup over each piece, and accompany with a scoop of thick vanilla yogurt (for breakfast) or ice cream (for dessert).

Steps:

• 1. Put the cranberries in a small microwave safe bowl. Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 1 orange into the bowl. Microwave until plump on HIGH, about 45 seconds. Set aside to cool. Grate 1/2 teaspoon of zest from one of the oranges, set aside. Trim the skins and pith from both oranges with a sharp knife; and working over a bowl to catch all their juices, cut oranges into segments.
• 2. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil, 3 teaspoons Truvia™ natural sweetener and orange zest until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the plumped cranberries and any juice.
• 3. Heat a heavy non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Drop 1/4 cups of batter for each pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and the bottoms brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook (adjusting the heat if needed) until other sides is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep pancakes warm.
• 4. Pour the juice from the orange segments and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Truvia™ natural sweetener into the hot skillet and bring to simmer. Swirl in butter. Add the orange segments and gently toss to coat until glazed, 1 minute. Stir in mint. Top pancakes with the glazed oranges. Serve.
• Note: Pancakes can be made the day before and refrigerated in a resealable plastic bag. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 400 degrees F oven until hot and crisp, about 10 minutes.
