Your idea came thru 16 minutes before I read it.
I am going to make such a cake. Yes,, The oranges will be peeled, since the poster mentioned the bitterness.
Now I still have a question.
I never made an Upside-down cake. How do you remove from baking pan without it falling apart???
I was considering lining pan with parchment. I mainly use steel pans. Used Pyrex bowls,,, but only when I bake Flan.
Silicone pans are nothing I want to consider.

I put parchment on the bottom of the pan (cut to size for my 9" cake pan) and cut a strip to fit around the edge, so all surfaces were covered. I let the cake cool for about 10 mins before turning it out.

Good luck with your cake. Are you following a recipe or just kind of winging it like I did? I think without the bitterness, this could be a really good, easy recipe. I would definitely recommend the melted butter/brown sugar poured over the orange slices before you put the cake batter in. It gave it a delicious caramel coating on top.

My mother lined the pans with wax paper. Parchment paper works fine. For a round pan, trace the outline of the bottom of the pan on the paper and cut it out with scissors just slightly smaller so it lays flat in the pan. Grease and flour the sides of the pan like normal when making a cake.

After cooling the cake, place a plate over the cake. Hold plate tight to the cake, turn over and gently lift off the pan and then peel off the wax paper or parchment paper.

Our favorite was Peach Upside Down cake made with canned peaches.

The simple solution is to peel the oranges before you slice them.

Save the zest off the peels!

Yeah, I thought about that too. I may just do that. But it's weird, all these pictures online show the rind on! So I thought I might be missing something.

I'll probably just peel them next time and save myself the trouble.

The pineapple upside down cake is peeled, so why not the oranges and lemons.

Add a tsp of the zest to the cake batter.

I make a lemon glaze, zest is great in glazes.

I did. Well, I added the zest of 2 oranges to the batter, and some orange juice as well.

When we had Duck. I found them LARGER. AND they seem to have a "strong" taste. I was not fond of them.

A coworker gave us duck eggs. I didn't care for the taste in scrambled eggs, but couldn't taste the difference in baking.

Are you following a recipe or just kind of winging it like I did?

I will be winging it. Might use the baking powder raised dough, or seriously considering trying my yeast raised dough.
I like experimenting, so may decide on multiple fruit options. That means one of each. So if I go with orange,,,, I will add orange zest, and juice to dough. If I choose apple slices,, then apple sauce, and cinnamon. With yeast raised dough, that gets cumbersome, making separate batches. Much easier with baking powder raised dough.
When I do make them,, I will do play by play, and keep track of my dough ingredient amounts,, to post.

Our favorite was Peach Upside Down cake made with canned peaches.

I make peach cobbler often.. I will try the upside-down next.
Thanks for the tips on upside-down removal.
