Preheat the grill.


Combine butter, honey and five-spice powder in a medium saucepan.


Cook over medium heat, stirring to combine butter and honey, just until butter melts.


Brush on cut side of peaches; reserve leftover honey mixture.


Grill peaches over high heat until just charred, about 2 minutes.


Allow peaches to cool slightly, then peel and slice them.


Add peaches and 3/4 cup orange juice to saucepan with remaining honey mixture and stir to mix well.


Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.


In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice.


Raise heat under saucepan so that the honey mixture begins to boil.


Whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until liquid thickens and reduces slightly.


When ready to serve, grill cake over high heat until it has grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes per side.


Transfer cake to plates and spoon warm peach compote over the top.
