Ingredients for the dough:
- 200 g of flour;
- 150 g of sugar;
- 3 pcs. eggs;
- 100 g of butter;
- 1 tsp. baking powder;
- schipka soli.
Ingredients for the filling:
- 4-5 pieces of tangerines;
- powdered sugar – for decoration.
Step 1
Peel the tangerines and remove the white veins. Divide into segments, remove the seeds (if any).
Step 2
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add the melted butter, mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and salt. It is recommended to gradually add the flour mixture to the egg and butter mixture, kneading a homogeneous dough.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper. Pour half of the batter into the dish. Place the tangerine slices on the batter, distributing them evenly over the surface. Pour in the remaining batter and smooth out gently.
Step 5
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. Test for doneness with a wooden skewer – it should come out dry.
Step 6
Cool the finished cake in the pan, then remove. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Cooking secrets:
Firstly, sweet varieties of tangerines with a minimal number of seeds are suitable for the pie.
Secondly, to make the cake airy, the eggs and sugar must be beaten at high speed for at least 5 minutes.
Third, add a little grated tangerine peel to the dough to enhance the citrus flavor.
Fourth, you can add chopped nuts or pieces of white chocolate to the filling.
