Coat an 8- to 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper. Heat brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan over medium heat until the butter melts. Spread in the prepared pan, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from 1 tangerine (or clementine); set aside. Cut a thin slice off the stem end of each fruit, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place a slice in the center of the pan; arrange the remaining slices in slightly overlapping circles out to the edge. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, oil and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla and the zest. With the mixer on low, blend in the flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, making 3 additions of the flour mixture and 2 of the buttermilk and mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the cake onto a cake plate. Tips Make Ahead Tip: Loosely wrap and store at room temperature for up to 1 day.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
