Mandarin cake
Description
Homemade baking for tea. For the mandarin cake we will need: flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, mandarins and mandarin zest. The most brilliant thing in the world is simple, and so is our mandarin cake – very simple, yet a brilliant recipe. But before you start preparing the dessert, I ask you to read the step‑by‑step recipe carefully, so you can see what danger may be awaiting you – for example, you should pour the batter into the pan only halfway! By the way, regarding the glaze, you need to drizzle the cake with it just before the final baking, that is, take it out of the oven 5 minutes before the end and drizzle. Also don’t forget to set aside two spoons of mandarin juice for making the glaze! Good luck. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
