- 2 oranges
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- divided
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 ounces orange liqueur
- such as Grand Marnier
- Whipped cream
- for serving
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Line a sheet tray with paper towels
- Using a mandoline or really sharp knife, cut the oranges into round slices about 1/4-inch thick
- Place orange slices onto the paper towel-lined sheet tray
- Once the sheet tray is full, cover with another layer of paper towels and place the rest of the oranges on top
- Place another layer of paper towels over the last few slices of orange and gently press to dry them out a bit
- Set aside
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil and 1 cup of sugar
- Mix until completely smooth
- In another medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and, using a spatula, fold until the batter has no more dry spots of flour
- Set aside
- Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the butter
- Pour the remaining 1/2 cup sugar onto a plate
- Remove the paper towels from the oranges and, working quickly, coat both sides of the orange slices with sugar, shaking off any excess, then place into the hot skillet
- Completely cover the bottom of the pan and place any extra orange slices over them
- Once all the orange slices are in the pan, cook for minute or two or until the sugar begins to get bubbly on the sides
- Carefully add in the shot of orange liqueur—it will most likely ignite, so be prepared
- Cook for a few minutes or until the flame dies down
- Pour the cake batter into the center of the pan directly over the oranges
- Spread the cake batter out slightly—it will spread out in the oven so you don’t need to spread it too much
- Place the pan into the oven and bake for 35 minutes
- Cool for 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate then set aside for a few hours before slicing into it
