Upside-Down cake? Yes, that’s absolutely right. Sounds quite funny but hit is a cake that is perfectly ready after you turned it, well, upside down 😀 You put in the decoration first and the dough after that. Like that you don’t have to decorate it anymore, ok, well, we added some sirup but that’s very easy and fast to do.
Right now its blood orange season and since we love them, you can find almost every variety of blood orange recipes here. We love Gino Tonic with blood orange sirup or any kind of cake with blood oranges, oranges or lemons. And they are very very beautiful.
Don’t you agree that they look like a tequila sunrise as a fruit? Ok, I admit it, that was kind of a lame comparison but still I love the colors and thus I love blood oranges. And they taste great. Also kind of a mixture of flavors which really gets me.
Now it’s time for the recipe 🙂
