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.
