Mandarin upside down vanilla cake: A simple but colorful and delicious

Baking a cake is always a happiness as not only baking is a fun for me but kids love cake very much and they never demand a cake from outside always love a cake baked by me. Today's cake is a very simple vanilla cake but as soon as I saw this recipe I decided to make this colorful Mandarin cake.

Always I try to use some healthy ingredients instead of white sugar and flour but the first time I made this cake using refined white flour as I wanted to see the result and difference between refined and whole wheat flour baking. Yes, there is a difference in texture and taste but for regular baking, I will prefer whole wheat flour and unrefined sugar.

Ingredients

  • All purpose flour/refined wheat flour 1 and 1/2 cup
  • Mandarin 1 or 2 as required
  • Powdered sugar 1 cup or little less
  • Vegetable oil 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla essence/extract 2 tsp
  • Baking powder 1/2 tsp
  • Baking soda 1/2 tsp
  • Vinegar/lemon juice 1 tsp
  • Salt a pinch
  • Water or plant-based milk 3/4 cup

Procedure-

  • Peel and slice mandarin, remove fibers if possible( I didn't remove but after baking, I realized it should be removed whatever possible)

  • Grease a baking tray with oil and sprinkle some sugar, arrange mandarin slice as in below picture.

  • Pass all dry ingredients through a sieve to make a uniform mixture.

  • Add all liquid ingredients except vinegar and make a smooth batter.

  • At last, add vinegar and mix gently before pouring in the baking tray.

  • Preheat the oven at 180-degrees Celcius and bake for 25-30 minutes.

  • Cool it down at room temperature and de-mold the cake gently.

  • Serve it upside down. Mandarin gives it a distinct flavor and taste
