Preparation

How to prepare Upside-down Mandarin Cake

To prepare the upside-down mandarin cake, first peel the mandarins needed for the decoration 1. Then cut them in half. Grease the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, line it with parchment paper, and close the springform. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar 3.

Arrange the mandarins inside with the cut side down on the parchment paper 4. At this point, sift flour, starch 5, and baking powder 6 into a large bowl.

Add the sugar 7, a pinch of salt 8, and mix. Set the dry ingredients aside. Pour into the bowl of an immersion blender a well-washed, unpeeled mandarin cut into pieces. Add the vegetable oil 9.

Now add the eggs 10 and blend everything 11 until you obtain a smooth, fairly liquid cream 12. For safety, strain the mixture to remove any seeds.

Then transfer it into the bowl with the dry ingredients 13 and mix until you obtain a homogeneous mixture 14. Pour into the pan 15.

The batter should completely cover the mandarins 16. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven 17. Let it cool slightly, flip it onto a plate, and gently remove the parchment paper before serving 18!

Storage

The upside-down mandarin cake keeps in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

Advice

Instead of oil, you can use 8 tablespoons of butter, previously melted and allowed to cool slightly.
