None None FOR THE MANDARIN TOPPING
6 large mandarin oranges
3 tbsp Cointreau or Grand Marnier
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
None None FOR THE CAKE
½ tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 None eggs, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups self-rising flour
1 None orange, peel finely grated and orange juiced

1
For the mandarin topping, use a sharp knife to slice off the skin and all pith from the oranges. Section and remove seeds. Place sections in a bowl with the liqueur; set aside to soak. Beat butter and brown sugar in a small bowl with a wooden spoon. Grease the sides of a 9-inch cake pan. Spread the butter mixture on the bottom of the pan.
2
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. For the cake, beat butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric beater until fluffy and lighter in color. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in sifted flour. Spoon into prepared pan.
3
Strain mandarin sections and measure juice. Add orange juice to mandarin juice to measure 1/2 cup. Stir juice and orange peel into cake batter.
4
Pat mandarin sections dry with paper towels. Arrange sections in pan on top of butter mixture, starting from the center. Spoon the cake batter into the pan.
5
Bake for 40 mins, or until golden and springy to touch. Cool in pan for 10 mins. Cover with a large plate and invert. Let stand for 2-3 mins for butter and sugar glaze to trickle down over cake; remove cake pan. Cool completely before serving.
