Blood Orange Upside-Down Cake

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 F. Into a medium-sized bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

2. 2

   In another small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and sugar. You're trying to eliminate any large chunks of brown sugar and have an even mix of sugars.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the egg, grapefruit/orange juice, vanilla extract, olive oil and add 1/2 cup of the combined sugar mixture. Stir in the dry ingredients in small batches until batter is well mixed but not overworked.

4. 4

   In a buttered and floured 8-inch spring-form cake pan, sprinkle the rest of the remaining 1/2 cup of combined sugar in the bottom of the pan. Arrange the blood orange slices in the bottom of the prepared pan.

5. 5

   Pour the batter over the oranges and place in the oven. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle of cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for 30 minutes before inverting the pan onto a large plate or cake stand. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, lightly sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
