Strawberry upside down cake (thanks Tesco)

I am a supermarket whore, I can never commit to just one, think its down to my attention span, I just get bored of the same old same old. So this week it was Tesco, I love the free food mags at the end of the checkouts they are a super free recipe inspiration giving resource (Asda, Morrisons, Sainbury's do them, sure Waitrose do but way too expensive a shop for my dainty toes to step into).

So browsing through found this and thought I would take it out for a spin.

Strawberry upside down cake

Ingredients:

• 225g softened butter (I use salted as like a pinch of salt in my cake just removes the need to add it)
• 225g caster sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2x orange zested and juiced
• 2xVanilla pod (I used vanilla essence 2x tsp, cba with vanilla pods tbh)
• 150 g golden syrup (have this in the cupboard but have to hide it from the sugar fiend)
• 225g self raising flour
  
  
  1. Preheat the oven to 180/fan 160. Grease a 9" cake tin and line with baking paper
  2. For the syrup, gently heat the syrup, vanilla, 1x orange zest ans 1-2 tbsp of the juice. Pour 2/3 of the liquid into the base of the tin, and set the remaining syrup aside for later.
  3. Arrange or do what I did scatter! the strawberries in the base of the tin.
  4. In a mixing bowl whisk the butter till soft and fluffy, then add the sugar, mixing till combined and fluffier, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is combined prior to adding the next, fold in 1x the orange Zest and 1-2 tbsp of juice, vanilla, then fold in the flour.
  5. Spoon mixture over the strawberries. Bake for 45 mins, or until the skewer thing system works, you know where the inserted skewer comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool foe 10 mins, then turn onto a serving plate, pour the reserved liquid over the cake.
  7. make pretty (if you can be faffed) with fresh strawberries and orange zest.
