NOTES
1. Grease: Be sure to grease your cake tin well for this cake. Use 1 tablespoon of butter. Brush your cake tin with butter (make sure to brush the seams and corners). Now you can easily remove the cake from the mold after baking.
2. Self-rising flour: In this recipe, self-rising flour is used. If you don't have it you can also use 1 ⅔ cup flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
3. Use all the ingredients at room temperature, to get an airy, smooth cake.
4. To get as much tangerine juice when you squeeze from the tangerines, roll them out under your hand a few times on the worksheet. The juices will come free and it results in more juice.
5. Tips:
- Heat some orange/tangerine jam in a pan and brush the top with it.
- When you take the cake from the oven, put it down carefully. And don’t put it away too cold. Otherwise, your cake can collapse.
- When you put the batter into the cake tin, tap the bottom a few times on the counter, so the batter will spread evenly and get into the corners.
