Absolutely delightful tasting cake, such a quick easy recipe
My mum makes me this cake, she’s no domestic queen but it always turns out super delicious. If you like mandarins and moist cakes give it a go!
Delicious!
I’m wondering about the excess juice the mandarins were cooked in. Still have some left – do I throw it in with cake, throw it away or reduce and make a syrup.
Hi Jenny,
Making a syrup sounds amazing. Please send us your recipe and we may be able to include on our recipe page.
Thanks !
Quick and easy, tastes great.
So delicious, the kids love it – this recipe is a regular at our place!
so easy & delicious. only used four eggs and it was fine. cooked for 65 minutes. perfect. I make a similar flour-less orange cake, but this one with mandarins was not bitter like the orange one. definitely making it again.
Sensory sensation. I microwaved the mandarins on high for ten minutes without water . Followed the recipe otherwise. Cooked in bundt tin lined with baking paper. Delicious cut into small slices with a coffee.
Beautiful delicious cake, however, mine turned out “soggy “ in the middle, any tips as to why. TIA
May be you didn’t cook it for long enough. Did you test it with a skewer before taking it out of tge oven.
Does it need vanilla to get rid of the egg taste?
Hi Neil,
Once all the ingredients are combined well and baked, there will be a lovely and moist mandarin flavoured cake!
We hope you enjoy the recipe!
Hi there, do you include the water that the mandarins are cooked in, in the purée, or do you remove the mandarins then make the purée. Amateur cake maker here and about to give this recipe a go for the first time…..
Hi Cathy, yes, include the water. As it has been simmering for some time, the amount of liquid will have evaporated, making for a lovely puree. We hope you enjoy!

Just got the Recipe, it looks good, and it looks like it is easy to make, and that is very important for me.
Thank you IGA for that lovely Recipe.

2 packed cups of almond meal weighs 200 grams, the full 340 grams is necessary. Other than that it’s tasty and easy, the remaining liquis from the mandarins cooks down to a nice glaze!
Mandarins vary so much in size. Do you have an approximate weight, please?
