Upside-Down Orange Cake

 My colleague requested for orange cake again after I made for them here. However, I was so tempting to try out something else with orange slices baked at the bottom. This version produced denser and heavier cake than the one before.... I received mixed feedback and almost equal votes for both versions. I personally like the lighter and fluffier cake i.e. the first version. Furthermore, the orange slices turned out a bit bitter but some don't mind that at all.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Hari tu buat Kek Oren kat sini untuk kawan2 kat opis laku licin.... Mereka nak lagi kek oren tapi Along teringin nak rasa Upside-Down Orange Cake ni pula sebab nampak sedap sangat. Kek ni berbeda dari yang sebelum ni.... kek nya lebih padat & lembab. Ada yang cakap yang ni lebih sedap tapi ada pula yang kata versi dulu tu lebih sedap.... masing2 ada citarasa berbeda. Along pula lebih suka kek yang ringan dan gebu seperti yg sebelum ini walau pun kek ni pun sedap juga.
