Description

This mandarin cake creation is a true delight for all lovers of fruity cakes. The light sponge base, soaked with redcurrant jelly, harmonizes perfectly with the creamy cream filling and the juicy mandarins. I especially like to bake this cake for birthdays or at Christmas, as it not only tastes delicious, but is also a visual highlight. The chopped pistachios and the mandarin segments give the cake a festive touch. A cake dream that melts in your mouth!
