Okay, this here recipe for a MANDARIN CAKE is good! And very simple to make.

I'd take a photo, but mine looks kinda bad, due to operator error, but OMG tastes good! :D

Was planning to also make muffins, but I can't find the muffin tins. Next time I guess. :(

Do you just chuck whole slices of mandarin into the mixture or do you chop them up a bit?

I peeled them and got the pips out, but didn't chop them up any more than that. And I just chucked all the ingredients into the whizzer thingy (mix master?).

I'm sure you could use tinned fruit or even oranges or something. The mandarin, weirdly, isn't an overriding taste in it.

I do have a bag of mandarins sitting on my table. :)

Might give this a go sometime this week if I can be bothered. :P

That's why I made 'em. The mandarins I bought weren't that nice, so I wanted to use them up. I suspect it'll taste a bit more mandarin-y if you chuck a bit of the peel in the whizzer too. :)

Oh, good tip! I'll post results if I do go ahead and make it.

Right, it's in the oven. My baking skills are close to non-existence, so god knows what will happen....

Woo! Hope it works out! It's an amazingly simple recipe when I can make it. :)

I don't own a muffin tin and ended up baking experimental oatmeal raisin spice muffin-type batter in a cake pan a few hours ago, and it worked out alright. The cut out squares are very muffin-like, if not muffin-shaped. I added more milk to make the batter bit runnier than usual muffin batter though, and I think that helped.

Cool! I thought of possibly doing that, but mum comes home tomorrow and will likely reveal the secret of the hidden muffin tins for next time. :D

Sounds tasty though. I do love experiments. :D
