Put some sunshine into your life with this delectable orange upside down cake !!
My eggless upside down orange cake has an abundance of citrus punch from fresh caramelised orange slices , zest and juice. Enjoy it as a tea time cake or double the orange flavour by adding cinnamon powder for ultimate orange spicy flavoured dream cake.
The cake is moist and slightly dense, with a light citrus flavour. The oranges are covered in a sweet and sticky glaze. It’s so delicious!!
