step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup Granulated Sugar (1 cup) and the Water (1 cup). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

step 2

Add the Oranges (2) slices to the saucepan and let them simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

step 3

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by lightly greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.

step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups), Baking Powder (1 tsp), Baking Soda (1/2 tsp), and Salt (1 tsp). Set aside.

step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Ricotta Cheese (1 cup), Olive Oil (1/3 cup), remaining 1 cup Granulated Sugar (1 cup), Vanilla Extract (2 tsp), and Orange (1 Tbsp) zest until smooth.

step 6

Add the Large Eggs (2) one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition.

step 7

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, careful not to overmix.

step 8

Arrange the syrupy orange slices on the bottom of the prepared cake pan setting the leftover syrup aside.

step 9

Gently pour the cake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly over the orange slices.

step 10

Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a cake tester or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, then carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.

step 12

Brush some of the remaining orange syrup over the top of the cake for added shine and flavor.
