Ingredients

How to make Mandarin Bundt Cake
Preheat oven to 350°C. Lightly grease a bundt cake pan.
Place in a blender 2 mandarins, seeded with peel, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and oil. Blend until the mandarin peel dissolves and the mixture is homogeneous.
Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and add sifted flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix well but don’t overmix.
Place the mixture in the prepared bundt cake pan.
Bake for 45 minutes, keep in mind that all ovens are different. To know if it’s ready insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, it should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
Let cool before removing.
For the icing: mix powdered sugar with drops of mandarin juice until you get the desired consistency.
When the cake is completely cold spread the icing over the cake.
Storing
Store the cake covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days. You can freeze it in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
Variations
