Forget the pineapple upside-down cake, this time it''s time for the orange upside-down cake to shine. What is an upside-down orange cake anyway? We chocoholics love all cakes, but sometimes a layered cake seems like a big undertaking.
But not with a wrong-way cake. Simply line the base of a baking tray with your favourite topping (sliced fruit, caramel, roasted nuts, etc.), pour the sponge cake over the top and bake. When you want to serve the cake, simply turn it upside down and serve it "upside down" and you have a beautiful, rustic and simple cake! The cake itself looks elegant, but it really is SO easy to make.
BAM tip for orange cake: peel the oranges and cut them into slices with the peel on. Instead of peeling and then slicing them, cut them with the peel on, using the tip of a knife to cut off just the outer layer of the peel. This will ensure that the citrus fruits are cut properly and do not break down and/or lose their juice when cut.
The cake must be completely cooled before turning it over. If you try to turn the cake while it is still warm, the filling with the oranges will probably fall apart. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before attempting to turn it.
