Something that no house is missing in winter are tangerines. You can also get them as a compote all year round, but somehow it is precisely winter that tempts us to prepare delicacies with tangerines. How about a juicy, creamy mandarin quark cake? You can prepare the tangerine cake with or without a base and in both cases it is really easy to make. We have recipes for the delicious curd cake with tangerines.
Fresh fruit or would you prefer canned fruit?
In itself, it doesn't matter whether you use fresh fruits or the pickled ones. However, what you should keep in mind with mandarin compote is that the fruit is wetter. So that the cake doesn't end up soggy, you have to drain it well. In addition, the compote is already sweetened, so you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe if it is intended for fresh tangerines.
You have to peel and fillet fresh tangerines. There should be no skin left when you use it in the cake.
Otherwise, nothing stands in the way of you trying both variants.
