Tangerine cake

  • 100 gr. butter
  • 200 gr. sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 200 gr. flour
  • 1 low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 2 tangerines

  • Beat the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl with an electric rod until the volume doubles and the mixture has a pale yellow color. Add the melted and warm butter, and continue beating.
  • Peel the tangerines, crush them until they form a fine cream and if there are many skins, pass through a Chinese strainer. Mix the tangerine puree and the yogurt with the previous cream.
  • Sift the flour and yeast and incorporate into the cream with enveloping movements along with a grated tangerine peel. Only the orange part, discarding the yellowish part.
  • Smear the mold with butter and sprinkle a little flour just enough to cover the bottom and edges discarding the excess flour. Pour the cake mixture into the mold so that it fills 3/4 of its height. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180ºC.
  • After 35 minutes of cooking, check if it is cooked by poking with a skewer or a long needle so that if it comes out clean, it is cooked and if not, it will need a few more minutes.
  • Once the cake is cooked, take it out of the oven and let it rest before serving. When serving, sprinkle with icing sugar.
  • If you don’t want the cake fresh out of the oven to stick to the pan, let it rest on a damp cloth for a few minutes. The cake will come out intact.
