Here is a wonderful – and very easy to do – Orange Upside Down Skillet Cake that we adapted from Rachael Ray. (Recipe in PDF) Really a super, good variation on the traditional Pineapple Upside Down Cake. We topped the cake with a Tiramisu Mascarpone instead of the whipped cream. Change the orange to lemon and use Limoncello instead of Grand Marnier and you might have another variation. The variations are limitless. Then also check out the Egg Thread Soup with Aspagagus found after the cake – Eat dessert first, Life is too short! Left-Click the photos to see them enlarged.
Caramelizing the orange slices. I use a mandolin to get the thin slices.
Cake batter is poured on top of the carmelized oranges.
The cake is cooked and is now cooling before removing it from the skillet. Nice brown edges.
Put a platter over the skillet, turn it upside down and the cake should come out easily. If not, tap it lightly to encourage it.
