Mandarin Cake

Ingredients

• 175 g flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 65 g sugar
• zest of 0.5 untreated lemons
• 100 g butter
• 1 tbsp cold water
• 2 cans mandarins
• 1 packet clear pastry glaze (for cooking)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Mix flour with baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Add butter pieces and water. Scrape everything with a knife to create dry crumbs. Then quickly knead by hand into a smooth dough.

2. 2.

   Grease an oval cake pan. Roll the dough on a floured surface (about 28 cm) and place it in the pan. Press flat with a lightly floured hand. Prick the dough several times with a fork. Bake the base in a preheated oven at 190 °C (gas: level 3, fan: 170 °C) for about 25 minutes. Let the base cool.

3. 3.

   Drain the mandarins through a sieve, catching the juice. Replenish the juice to 250 ml with water. Prepare the pastry glaze according to instructions (without sugar).

4. 4.

   Place the cooled base on a cake plate, top with mandarins and pour the glaze over it. Allow to set.
