Tips for the Perfect Tangerine Cake
- Tangerines: Use organic tangerines with a thin peel to avoid bitterness. Remove any seeds before blending.
- Blending: Ensure the tangerine mixture is smooth to avoid chunks in the batter.
- Flour: Sift the flour before adding it to the blender for a lighter texture.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
