“You can try, but there is no way to resist this aromatic tangerine cake”
Tangerines and oranges are regarded as signs of luck and wealth during Chinese New Year and make for a delectable dessert for an American New Year as well.ÿ Champagne and whipped egg whites give this cake a light sponge texture and the tangerine packs a citrus zing. Top with a confectioners’ sugar icing and a little candied tangerine peel and you are sure to have lots of luck and wealth in the new year.
We love fruit-based desserts like this tangerine upside-down cake. It’s perfect for warmer seasons where you still want cake, but don’t want something that is heavy and will weigh you down. This cake is sweet, zesty, and very refreshing. The cake crumb is moist, while the tangerines on top become beautifully caramelized.
To make this tangerine upside-down cake, you’ll need ingredients like flour, sugar, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and of course, tangerines. Did we mention this cake is dairy-free too? Simply use almond milk instead of dairy. Finish off with melted marmalade, and you have a sweet, tender cake that will leave you wanting more.
This beautifully moist Tangerine Drizzle Cake recipe takes the classic drizzle cake and elevates it with fresh fruit pieces into something even more luscious and delicious!
After making the World’s Best Lemon Drizzle cake, I needed another drizzle fix! I’ve been creating delicious drizzle cakes for a while now (including lime, coconut and even chocolate) and as of today, I think this Tangerine Drizzle Cake Recipe could be my new favourite!
This recipe produces a delightfully tender and light sponge that can still hold its own against the citrussy tangerine drizzle.
To make your Tangerine Drizzle Cake, you’ll first need to make a batter, which is really simple.
You’ll pop the batter into a tin and bake until it rises into a beautiful, aromatic sponge. Then you’ll soak the whole cake in a gorgeous drizzle made from orange juice and powdered sugar, boiled to give a beautiful orange syrup..
Once the cake is cool, you’ll make a beautiful tangerine icing by combining some reserved syrup with icing sugar and milk and mixing to a thick paste.
You’ll pour the icing over the cake, allowing it to drip decadently down the sides and then, once set, decorate with peeled tangerine slices. What a showstopper!
Now, if I’ve just described your dream cake, scroll down for the full, detailed recipe ingredients and method! There are plenty of photos to help you along the way, and some helpful tips to help you get the perfect Tangerine Drizzle Cake.
Have you ever had an orange cake with real oranges?

Remember, there are a couple of rules when it comes to baking.

Shall we get started?
This orange cake is similar to a pineapple upside down except you’re using oranges with this one and there are no cherries. If you love oranges, you’re going to love this!
First off, before you get started, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Start off with seven tangerines.
Grate the skin of one orange and set it aside. Peel the six oranges and cut them in half. Make sure they’re all the same thickness for even baking.
This recipe calls for a 7″ x 10″ baking pan. Take your baking pan and grease it with butter before dusting the bottom with flour and sugar. Arrange the orange halves, cut side down, on the baking pan in a single layer.
Peel the grated orange and add to a bowl. Remember to add it piece by piece. Add two eggs plus a pinch of salt and use an immersion blender to break down the ingredients. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can add to a blender and press pulse not blend.
Strain the mixture so you only get the liquid form.
Add sugar and orange zest and mix together until the sugar dissolves then add oil and water. Add the flour and baking powder through a strainer to sift it before you mix all the ingredients. Make sure that they’re mixed well and that there are no more lumps.
Once you’ve confirmed your mix is lump-less, pour all of it into the baking pan, completely submerging the oranges.
Bake the cake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes.
You can serve this immediately with coffee or tea. Or you can place it in the fridge or freezer to enjoy it for another day. When you’re ready to eat, just heat or leave it on the counter until it becomes room temperature.

Cake is one of the best desserts of all time, wouldn’t you agree? It doesn’t just satisfy someone’s craving for sweets but also triggers someone’s creativity when making one.
Come to think of it, a lot of our hidden talents were discovered during the pandemic and I think most of you would agree that one of them is cooking or baking.
A lot of people are kind of worried about keeping themselves healthy, however, it’s just really hard to say “no” to something quite appetizing such as a homemade cake.
Thankfully, the internet has been blessing us with tutorials and unique recipes from people from all walks of life, from aspiring ones to world-famous professional chefs. One of them is Ivan from Germany and his YouTube channel ‘Immer Appetitlich‘ translates as ‘always appetizing’.
This video entitled ‘The tastiest cake I’ve ever made! Simple and delicious! Cake in 10 minutes!’ would definitely make you stop worrying about your sugar intake.

First, grab the freshest ingredients listed below.
- 7 tangerines.
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 eggs
- salt
- 100 grams of sugar
- 150 ml of sunflower oil
- 150ml of water
- 220 grams of flour
- 10 grams of baking powder
If you have everything ready, then let’s get started.
Step 1: Grate the skin of 1 tangerine and set it aside for later use. After that, peel 6 tangerines and cut them in half (horizontally).
Step 2: Grab a mold of your choice, preferably 26cm x 20cm, and grease it with butter and flour. Once done, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and spread it out evenly.
Step 3: Place the sliced tangerines with the cut side facing down.
Step 4: In a separate container, put one tangerine (peeled), 2 eggs, and a pinch of salt, then mix using a handheld blender. After doing that, get its juice by using a strainer and add 100 grams of sugar and grated tangerine skin, mix them all together using a whisk or hand mixer.
Step 5: Next, add 150 ml of sunflower oil and 150 ml of water, then mix again. Once done, add 220 grams of flour and mix until it gets thick enough.
Step 6: Pour the mixture evenly on top of the sliced tangerines and put it inside a preheated oven under 180 degrees celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40 minutes.
Step 7: To serve, put it upside down so the sliced tangerines will face up. It also helps add more flavor to the cake because of the juice oozing inside them. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar or anything you like, you can be as creative as you like.
Step 8: Make sure to enjoy it with your family or friends!

This Tangerine Poppy Seed Cake is love at first bite. It’s moist and citrusy with a light crunchy texture. And best of all, this cake actually tastes like fresh tangerine!
If you’re looking for a truly delicious and unique cake recipe, this Tangerine Poppy Seed Cake is a must-try. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it’s bursting with fresh orange flavor and a hint of nuttiness from the poppy seeds. This is a great recipe for taking advantage of the winter citrus season.

Baking with poppy seeds
Many world cuisines bake with poppy seeds, but particularly Central and Eastern European, including German, Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Slovak, and Czech. These cuisines typically bake sweet or savory pastries like poppy seed cake, poppy seed cookies, and poppy seed rolls. What sets these traditional poppy seed baked goods apart from the ones we bake here in the US is the sheer amount of seeds used ~ today I’m borrowing from that tradition; my cake uses a full cup!
Soaking poppy seeds in milk can bring out the natural sweetness of the seeds, as well as soften the crunchy texture. Soaking in milk makes the seeds more easily digestible, and also helps to release their natural oils, which adds an extra burst of flavor to recipes. Additionally, the process helps the body to better absorb the vitamins, minerals, and protein found in the poppy seeds.
Can you taste the poppy seeds in this tangerine cake?
When you have this many poppy seeds in a recipe, flavor is an issue ~ and poppy seeds do actually have a flavor. They’ve been called nutty, earthy, peppery, and slightly bitter. For me it’s mostly about that lovely crunch.
Can poppy seeds make you high?
No, poppy seeds do not make you high. Although poppy seeds do come from the poppy plant, the levels of psychoactive chemicals found in poppy seeds are too low to have any effect. Poppy seeds can, however make you fail a drug test as they contain trace amounts of opium, which may produce a false positive result. Therefore, it is advised that you avoid eating poppy seeds before undergoing a drug test.
Tangerine sugar boosts the citrus flavor
I love to make citrus sugars with lemons and oranges, and here I make tangerine sugar with the zest of a tangerine and the cup of sugar in the cake recipe. Processing them together in a food processor makes a bright fragrant citrus sugar that infuses the whole cake.
Orange extract is a fabulous little extra to have in your pantry. It’s a concentrated liquid flavoring extract made from the peel of an orange, usually obtained by cold pressing. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, from desserts to marinades and dressings, and a good orange extract will give a burst of orange flavor. It’s optional in this tangerine cake, but if you love citrus flavor it’s a good thing to have around.
Which way is up with this tangerine poppy seed bundt cake?
You have two choices when turning out bundt cakes: you can flip the baked cake out of its pan and have the smooth side facing up, or you can flip it over again and leave the craggy side up. I do it both ways, depending on the cake and the look I’m going for. In this case I want the surface of the cake to capture as much of that zingy orange glaze as possible, so I went with the nooks and crannies up 🙂
The orange glaze that I added on top is simply powdered sugar and freshly squeezed tangerine juice ~ it accentuates the citrus flavor and adds a nice pop of sweetness to every bite.
Useful tips for making tangerine poppy seed cake
Non-stick bundt pans (like milk, mascara, and those jeans from college,) have a life span. Don’t wait for the inevitable to happen, replace yours while you still can. Less detail is often a good thing in a bundt pan when you want it to release cleanly.
Spray or butter and flour your pan, making sure to get in every nook and cranny.
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes out of the oven, then loosen all the edges with a thin offset spatula before turning out.
Be sure to let your cake cool before adding a glaze, or it will soak right into the warm surface of the cake.
Do not slice your cake until just before serving to avoid drying it out.

A coffee cake for tangerine lovers!
- zest of 1 tangerine, peeled with a serrated vegetable peeler (just the orange part, try to avoid the white pith, which is bitter.)
- unsalted butter, at room temperature
- orange extract, optional
- eggs, at room temperature
- all purpose flour
Glaze
- set oven to 350F
- Spray and flour a bundt pan (or a tube pan with a removable bottom)
- Heat the poppy seeds and the milk in a saucepan until warmed and set aside.
- Make the tangerine sugar in a food processor: process the sugar and the zest of one tangerine together until the sugar is fragrant and pale orange. If you don’t have a processor just finely grate the zest and mix with the sugar.
- Cream the butter with the tangerine sugar and extracts until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Scrape down that bowl!
- Whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the poppy seed milk, beginning and ending with the dry. Beat just until blended with each addition, don’t over beat.
- Blend in the tangerine juice.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the surface. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until risen and just turnning golden on top. A toothpick inserted near the center will come out without wet batter on it (moist crumbs are fine.)
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then loosen around all the edges and invert onto a cooling rack.
- To make the glaze, add just enough of the tangerine juice to the sugar to make a fairly thick glaze.
- When the cake is cool, go to town with the glaze. Garnish with a sprinkle of poppy seeds and tangerine zest.
Unopened packages of poppy seeds usually stay good for up to 2 years, but once they are opened they need to be used within 3 months for optimal freshness (they are high in oil so they can go rancid quickly.) It’s best to store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, or you can also freeze poppyseeds in a heavy duty zip lock freezer bag.

My tangerines weighed about 85g (about 3 ounces) each, including the skin. They yielded approximately 3 tbsp of juice per tangerine. A little variation shouldn’t cause much of an issue, but if you use a very different orange that is considerably bigger or smaller, adjust the quantities accordingly.

Instructions
Peel the tangerines.
Cut the tangerines into slices.
Grease the baking tins with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place the tangerine slices in the bottom of the baking tray.
Mix milk, vinegar, vanilla, and oil.
Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter over the tangerines and bake for 25-30 minutes at 360°F/180°C.
Flip the cake over and coat it with melted marmalade. Decorate with fresh mint leaves.
Equipment
If you don’t mind dairy, feel free to use any other milk in this recipe.
Use a gluten-free flour blend to make this cake gluten-free.
Test the tangerine cake for doneness by sticking a skewer or toothpick through the center. The skewer shouldn’t be completely clean, then the cake is overbaked. There should not be any wet batter on the stick, but a few moist crumbs are okay.
Instead of marmalade, you can also top the cake with an orange glaze. Whisk together 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 4 tsp orange juice, and ½ tsp orange zest. Drizzle and spread over the cooled pound cake.
The glaze icing will last about a week in an airtight container in the fridge or for several months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using it.
