Marinade the slices of oranges in the maple syrup whilst you make the batter.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the orange juice to the butter and sugar and cream together for a further minute or so – the mixture may curdle a bit but will be OK once the flour is added.
Sieve the flour and baking powder together.
Add one egg at a time with a tablespoon of flour to the butter/sugar mixture.
Whisk well, add another egg, repeat until all eggs added.
Fold in the rest of the flour.
Place the orange pieces in a pattern (one in the middle, the rest on the outside) on the base of the baking tin and pour the batter over them.
Bake for about 30 minutes (Use a cake skewer to test the cake. It should come out clean)
Allow the cake to cool slightly before putting a plate on the top and flipping over to reveal the cake with the orange decoration on the top.
