Mandarine Orange Pan Cake

I bought a 2,5 kg bag of mandarine oranges, they were on sale. But the dry out very fast, when you do not have a cool room to store them, but never in the fridge.

I saw a video on FB a while ago with a mandarine orange cake prepared only on the stove. Getting the ingredients together was not a problem, but the cooking temperature was less precise. Cooking for 10 minutes on low heat ?? How low? 

Cooking the batter on medium heat is much better. Turning it is much more difficult than shown in the video. 

Recipe:

6 mandarine oranges

20 g butter, 20 g sugar

Batter:

1 egg

50 g sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

100 ml milk

60 ml grapeseed oil

170 g flour

8 g baking powder

Use a pan with a lid and check if the mandarine oranges will fit. 

Cream the batter together and set aside.

Melt the butter and add the sugar and give it 1 min. Set the halved mandarines in the pan and cook them on high during you spread the batter

Put the lid on and reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 min. Use a plate and turn the cake and set it back in the pan.

That may work or not. It did not work so well for me. But the endresult was tasty, even if it did not look so perfect.

Close the lid and cook 10 more min. Check if the color is good, if not increase the heat for a bit.
