Ingredients

4 large oranges, peeled, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Arrange the orange slices in the bottom of the pan in a circular pattern. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the oranges and spread evenly.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until everything is well combined. Add the orange juice and mix until just combined.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter over the oranges in the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes before inverting onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
