1. For the topping, place your water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, bring this to a gentle boil and take it off the heat once the sugar has fully dissolved
2. Remove the rinds from the oranges and slice them into 0,5cm thick slices, make sure all the white of the peel is removed from the outside. Save any juices that are released during this process
3. Line the bottom of a 23cm ø cake pan and generously butter the sides. Pour in the water-sugar mixture and arrange your orange slices in a beautiful pattern on the bottom of the pan. Add any leftover juices from the oranges on top and set it aside
4. Preheat your oven to 170C
5. In a small bowl, rub together the sugar and the orange zest 
6. In a large mixing bowl, beat together your eggs, orange sugar & vanilla until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes
7. Add in your yoghurt and mix till combined
8. While whisking, slowly drizzle in your olive oil until the mixture is emulsified
9. In a separate bowl, mix together your flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt
10. Add your flour mixture to the wet ingredients and using a spatula, fold this in until just combined
11. Pour your cake batter on top of your oranges and bake in the middle of your oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
12. Let your cake cool completely before flipping over! This will allow all the juices from the oranges to soak into the cake
13. In the meantime, whip all the ingredients of your whipped cream together just until soft peaks form
14. To flip your cake, place a plate or cutting board on top of your cake, now carefully flip the whole thing over so the cake drops on the plate. Carefully peel away the parchment paper and serve with your whipped cream. Enjoy loves!
