In a large bowl, combine sugar and cream cheese. Add eggs to the mixture and whisk until combined.
Add orange zest (half of the orange) and lemon juice. Whisk until it's well combined.
Add pancake mix and melted butter, and whisk some more until the batter is smooth.
Grease the bowl of rice cooker with butter.
Sprinkle that one tbsp of sugar you left aside and coat the bowl well.
Slice orange into 7 thin slices and lay on the inside of the bowl.
Pour the batter over the oranges, and cook for 40 minutes.
After cooking is finished, place a plate over the bowl of rice cooker and carefully flip the bowl upside-down so that the cake slides onto on the plate with the orange slices on top.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Because most of the citrus fruit have similar texture, you can try this recipe with a blood orange, or if you like acidity and bitterness which some citruses brings to the table, you can even try with grapefruit or lemon. You'll need to add some more sugar. We will try and let you know.If you get slightly burnt color on the orange slices on the orange slices, don't worry, it doesn't affect the taste at all.
