Mandarin and Almond Cake - Recipe by 4 Ingredients

Ingredients

3 mandarins
6 regular eggs
1 cup caster sugar
2 cups almond meal

Method

Place the whole mandarins into a saucepan.

Cover with water and bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, careful not to let the water evaporate.

Cool completely before splitting open to remove the seeds.

Using a hand-held blender, purèe.

Preheat oven to 160 C.

Line a 22 cm cake tin with baking paper.

Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on a medium-high speed for 8 minutes or until the mixture is thick, pate and tripled in volume.

Add the purée and almond meal and fold gently with a large metal spoon until just combined.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin.

Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.

NB: This cake will sink as it contains no flour to help it rise.
