Orange Upside Down Cake

This cake looks like a literal piece of art and comes together in no time! A deliciously fluffy and tender almond cake made with olive oil, topped with a sweet, sticky and tangy orange topping, served with some spiced whipped cream, I mean….. 

Now is the absolute perfect time to whip up this cake as the orange season runs until the end of this month. I would highly recommend using blood oranges for this recipe for its gorgeous red colour and sweet flavour.

What is an upside-down cake?

An upside-down cake is quite literally what it says, a cake that is baked like any other but served upside-down to reveal its gorgeous ‘topping’. You simply line the bottom of your pan with anything, nuts & caramel, oranges or any other fruit like apples, pineapple, you name it! You top it with cake batter and flip it after it has cooled to serve it upside-down. 

This way of baking can turn you into a true Picasso. You can carefully arrange your cake topping in the pan which will only reveal itself when you flip your cake and peel off the parchment paper, talk about suspense!

What do I serve with Orange Upside Down Cake?

I’ve got you covered babes! This recipe comes with a serving of cinnamon-vanilla whipped cream. The hint of cinnamon just spices up the cake and gives it that little warmth that compliments the sweet and fresh flavours of the cake. The cake itself is already incredibly moist, so it would not necessarily need the cream, but it does add to the experience.

If you’re not a fan of whipped cream or cinnamon (which I can’t imagine anyone being), this cake is just as delicious when served plain.

How to store Orange Upside Down Cake

You can store this cake outside of the fridge for at least 3 days. The cake will stay moist as long as it is stored in an airtight container or very properly wrapped in plastic foil.
