A beautiful upside down cake recipe that requires only one bowl and zero decoration, because the orange slices are baked in on the base of the tin. I constantly come back to this base recipe, using different fruit, because it’s easy, delicious and always a crowd pleaser.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a 22cm cake tin with baking paper.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetener and olive oil.

Step 3

Add in the zest of one whole orange, and squeeze in the juice of half of it. Stir and set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the almond meal, coconut flour, baking powder and salt.

Step 5

Add the almond meal mixture to the wet mixture in two batches and fold to combine well. Set aside while you prepare the topping.

Step 6

Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil in the lined tin to grease it slightly. Then sprinkle in the two tablespoons of sweetener. Carefully place the orange slices in, starting in the centre and layering out in a spiral.

Step 7

Spoon in the cake batter and spread evenly. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Check halfway through and cover with foil if it is browning too much.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely. Carefully remove the tin and flip the cake upside down onto your serving plate, peel off the baking paper and enjoy.
