Upside down orange cake !

Harvey oranges.

Honey.
Upside down
Beautiful tesselating oranges with sticky sweet syrup. (can circles tesselate?)

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 oranges, cut into thin slices

3/4 cup soft butter

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tbsp grated orange zest

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/3 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

Line a 20cm square cake pan with baking paper and spray with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 180C.

In a saucepan heat the honey and orange juice until boiling. Cook until the mixture is foamy and slightly thickened and an amber-brown colour. Pour the syrup into the base of the pan. Put into the fridge to thicken and cool. Cover generously with orange slices.

In a bowl cream the butter and sugar and orange zest. Add the eggs one at a time. Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt alternating with the milk. Dob gently over orange slices.

Bake for about 35-40 mins or until just set and springy to touch. The cake will soak up all the lovely honey and orange glaze. Cool in pan for 5 mins then turn out onto a large plate with a lip to catch all the leaky syrup.

Delicious warm, delicious cold. I'm sure it would make beautiful individual puddings. Ice cream or cream would also be a worthy addition
