- 4 large eggs
- 250g self-raising flour
How To Make Jamie Oliver Chocolate Mandarin Cake
- Prep the Oven and Tray: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas 4). Grease a 25cm x 30cm baking tray and line it with damp parchment paper.
- Make the Cake Batter: In a food processor, blend 250g of butter and an equal amount of icing sugar. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder, and 50g of cocoa powder. Add a splash of juice from the mandarin tin and blend until smooth.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the Buttercream: In the food processor, blend the remaining 200g of butter and 400g of icing sugar until fluffy. Add the cream cheese and a splash of mandarin juice if needed.
- Assemble and Decorate: Cut the cooled cake into two flat rectangles. Spread a third of the buttercream on one cake layer and place mandarin segments on top. Place the second cake layer on top. Trim the edges if you like. Decorate the top with the remaining buttercream and cocoa powder.
What To Serve With Chocolate Mandarin Cake
