Cake
1/2 cup fine cornmeal
1/2 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon mint finely minced
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup french sheep's milk feta, grated finely (I used my microplane)
1 stick of butter, softened
1 blood orange, zest and juice
1.25 cups powdered sugar
4 egg yolks
2 eggs
Blood Orange Feta Glaze
2 blood oranges
2 tablespoons french sheep's milk feta, finely grated (preferably with a microplane)
1 tablespoon mint, finely minced
1 cup powdered sugar

1
Preheat the over to 350. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, mint, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
2
Mix the sour cream and feta in a small bowl and set aside.
3
cream the butter for a minute with a handheld mixer and then add the blood orange zest and juice. Mix and slowly add the sugar until well incorporated.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5
Fold in the sour cream/feta mixture until blended and then fold in the dry ingredients.
6
Pour the batter into a greased 8 inch round pan. Lick the bowl. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7
Cool for 5 minutes and then invert on a plate. Carefully, turn over and place on a rack set over a plate. Prepare the glaze and slowly pour over the cake letting the excess drip onto the plate below.
8
Zest one orange and place in a bowl along with the juice of the two oranges, the mint, and the feta. Slowly stir in the powdered sugar until you have a nice glaze - not too thick and not too thin. You may need more or less sugar depending on how juicy your oranges were.
