In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, spices and baking powder and fold this mixture into the liquid batter (batter should be a bit thin). Pour the combined batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 - 1.5 hours or until knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. For The Topping: Cook the sugar, water and lemon juice over medium low heat in a fry pan until It comes to a low boil. Add the orange slices and continue cooking, turning the slices frequently. Cook for 15 minutes or until it is a syrup consistency and oranges are slightly clear. Assemble: Arrange the cooked orange slices over the top of the slightly cooled cake. Pour the syrup over the cake and oranges.
