Mandarin cake, without milk and butter, soft, delicious, and fragrant, very easy to make.
This cake is the mandarin version of my orange plumcake, really fragrant and tasty.
Two perfect ideas for breakfast and snack, easy to make and also nice to give as a gift.
Citrus cakes are among my favorites because they have that extra touch, are very fragrant, and last for a few days at room temperature.
The important thing is to cover them even just with a cake cover or a clean tea towel.
