Ingredients:
3 large Mandarins
4 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Sugar (185g/6oz)
200g (6 oz) ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder

Method:
Place mandarins in a saucepan, cover with water and boil for
1 hour. Leave to cool. On a plate, cut mandarins open,
remove pips and place pulp and skins into blender. Process
until smooth. There should be just over a cup of pulp.

Beat eggs and sugar until thick and fluffy. Add mandarin
pulp, almonds and baking powder. Mix well and pour into a
greased and floured 20cm (8 in) cake tin. Bake in a moderate
oven (10c/375f) for 1 hour. Cake will fall slightly in centre.
