1. Slice the Oranges into thin circles and keep aside. In a pan place the butter and melt. When the butter melts, add the honey and warm it, on low heat. Now place the Orange slices in the pan and cook for 2 minutes, until the oranges absorb the honey. Flip and cook on both sides.
   
2. Preheat oven to 180 c for 10 minutes. Sift the flour and keep ready.
   
3. In a bowl take the curd, add the sugar and combine until the sugar dissolves completely. Now add the baking powder and baking soda and set aside for 5 minutes. This makes the mixture to froth up and double in size.
   
4. After 5 minutes add oil to the curd mixture and combine well. Add the sifted flour and with a spatula or wire whisk combine nicely to form a batter. Add in the vanilla essence and grated Orange rind(if using) and, Vanilla essence and, combine lightly once again. ( I forgot to click a picture of adding the vanilla essence).
   
5. In a previously greased tray, arrange the Orange slices such that they cover the bottom of the tray. Now transfer the cake batter into the tray lined with Oranges and tap one gently. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35 minutes at 180 C. Check for doneness. Remove from oven, and cool for 30 minutes. Now when you turn the cake upside down, the Oranges will be on top.
   

Directions for topping

Slice the Oranges into thin circles and keep aside. In a pan place the butter and melt (take care not to overheat the butter). When the butter melts, add the honey and warm it, on low heat. Now place the Orange slices in the pan and cook for 2 minutes, until the oranges absorb the honey. Flip and cook on both sides ( 1 minute each side). We don’t want the Orange to overcook and lose shape. Put off the flame and allow it to cool.

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35 minutes at 180 C. Check for doneness or keep for a couple of minutes more, if a toothpick comes out sticky, don’t go beyond 5 minutes. Cool the cake for 30 minutes.  In case you have any sauce from cooking the oranges in honey remaining, you can pour it over the cake as soon as you turn it upside down. let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing.  Enjoy this refreshing cake with tea.
