Preparation

Step 1

Grate the zest from the oranges. With a paring knife, peal the oranges removing the outer white membrane. Slice the oranges horizontally into 1/4 inch thick slices. Remove the seeds. Set aside.

In 13 x 9-inch baking pan, melt the butter in the oven. Spread brown sugar over butter and stir in and then spread evenly across the bottom of the pan. Arrange orange slices on the brown sugar.

Make the cake batter as directed on box, adding the orange zest and orange flavor. Pour the batter over the orange slices and brown sugar.

Bake for 32 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool for about three minutes.

Place a large serving plate or cutting board upside down on pan so that the pan is covered. Turn the plate and cutting board over and, holding the pan and cutting broad together about three inches off the counter, drop the two together. The cake will pop out onto the cutting board. Remove the pan. Cool 20 minutes.

While the cake is cooling, make the orange marmalade glaze. Add the marmalade and water to a small saucepan. Heat until the marmalade is melted. Strain the marmalade to remove the pieces. Brush the glaze over the cake. Serve with the whipped cream.

2 cups whipping cream
