The cake actually turned to be exceptionally good and incredibly flavored. Also, not very time consuming and not over complicated.
Now I am again inspired to do all sort of upside-down cakes with all sorts of fruits. Let's see...
Ingredients:
Sirop:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons orange blossom water
- 3 blood organic oranges (+ more for the juice bellow)
- 650g all purpose flour
- 150g butter (melted)
- 145g sour cream
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 14g baking powder
- 400g fresh orange juice
- 6 eggs
- 120g sugar
Directions:
- Slice very finely the oranges using a sharp knife or better a mandoline.
- For the sirup, add the water and the sugar in a pan and heat it until boiling. Mix to insure that the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the orange slices in the pan and caramelize them for 3-5 minutes.
- Take a cake/tart pan (preferably one with a removable bottom that is not leaking) and arrange nicely the slices on the bottom of this cake pan. Put the pan aside and let's prepare the dough.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer add the eggs and the melted butter and mix.
- Add the sour cream, orange zest and sugar and mix.
- Combine the flour with baking powder and add it in the mixing bowl alternating with the orange juice.
- Pour this composition over the blood oranges in the cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven at 180ÂșC.
- When finished, let the cake to cool before reversing it from the pan.
- Serve it dusted with icing sugar or whipped cream.
