Posted On: 2024-12-06 12:55:35

Ingredients:

Loaf:

125g butter

½ cup caster sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Zest of 4 mandarins

¼ cup mandarin juice

1 ½ cups flour

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ cup milk or buttermilk

Syrup:

¼ cup mandarin juice

¼ cup caster sugar

Drizzle icing

½ cup icing sugar

Zest of 1 mandarin

1 Tbsp melted butter

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 170C. Line the base of a loaf tin with baking paper.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla and zest and juice.

Add in the flour, baking powder, soda and milk or buttermilk, stirring until smooth. Pour into the loaf tin, smoothing the top. Bake for 1 hour until a skewer comes out clean.

For the syrup, in a small pot, combine the mandarin juice and sugar to a simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Spoon over the loaf while in the tin.

Add the icing sugar and zest to the butter to make the drizzle icing. If needed, add a little extra mandarin juice.

Drizzle the cake and serve.
