Step by step method
-
Step 1
Wash the fruit well and cut into small pieces. Grind the manderin with an immersion blender. At the same time, be sure to leave the peel - it will enrich the dough with fragrant essential oils, and in the finished baking it will resemble pieces of candied citrus fruits.
-
Step 2
Beat by hand or with a mixer three eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar.
-
Step 3
When the mass increases a little and turns white, stir in the vegetable oil and citrus puree, bring to a smooth consistency.
-
Step 4
Mix flour and baking powder and sift, add to the mass. Knead the dough quickly.
-
Step 5
To make the finished figures easy to remove, grease the molds with a brush dipped in oil. You can use portioned molds of different sizes or bake in one large one. Any will do - silicone, paper or metal.
-
Step 6
Fill the forms 2/3 with the dough. Gently place in preheated oven and leave for 15-30 minutes (depending on the size of the pieces). The temperature for baking is 180 degrees, the "top - bottom" mode.
-
Step 7
After the cupcakes have cooled, you can decorate them as you like. For example, cream, sugar icing, powder, chopped nuts or caramel crumbs.
Tips & variations
-
The oven should be heated to 180 degrees. Bake the muffins until they are browned, and you can check the readiness with a toothpick. If there is no dough left on the toothpick when piercing the products, then the cupcakes are baked.
-
Baking can be left to cool in the forms, or you can immediately lay it out, for example, on a board.
-
The final chord is to sprinkle the finished cupcakes with powdered sugar or other powder.
-
You can also prepare mandarin muffins in a different way, without rubbing the pulp of the fruit with a blender. If you cut the mandarin into rings, put the mugs on the bottom of the molds, and then put the dough on top, you get a cake with mandarin filling.
-
Another baking option is interesting: cook one large cupcake in a multicooker or oven, and then cut it into portions.
-
And you can also use not mandarines, but oranges as a fragrant fruit base.

Дуже сподобалися мандаринові кексики. Пробувала і апельсинові робити, але вони здалися менш ароматними, хоча теж смачні. Ще треба торт зробити, на дно мандаринові кільця покласти. А шкірку, цікаво, знімати треба чи ні? Я з шкіркою спробую.

Я коли торт такий пекла, залишила шкірку, робила з апельсинами. Дуже ароматно вийшло і соковито, а від цедри особливо приємний смак. Я натерту на самій дрібній тертці цедру і в тісто додаю, у мене прямо справжнє пристрасть до цитрусових, люблю все кислувате.
