Caramelized Oranges Cake

This delicious, super fluffy cake with the intense flavor of the juicies oranges from my parents' farm is  the perfect treat for the upcoming rainy days that april's spring showers insist on bringing along. The amazing flavor of caramelized oranges surprises and delights in this recipe and is a great intensifier of the cake's own great taste and beautiful scent. I've bakes this one yesterday for today's breakfast, so here I go now  for my own slice of citrus-y, cakey heaven!
