Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a simple tangerine pie in the oven? To begin, prepare the products according to the list. Take the highest grade flour. Choose large, selected eggs. Take 3 small ones. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance; they should be at room temperature. Choose sweet, fragrant tangerines. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the tangerines, peel and disassemble into slices.

Step 3

Step 3
Combine eggs with sugar and beat with a mixer until fluffy. The airiness of your cake depends on how you beat the eggs. You can’t beat the mixture until it’s white and thick—the whites will lose the air bubbles that lift the dough. And in this case, even baking powder will not help. The dough will either not rise at all or rise very weakly.

Step 4

Step 4
Add sour cream and beat again until smooth.

Step 5

Step 5
Add sifted flour with baking powder in parts. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished cake will turn out more tender and fluffy.

Step 6

Step 6
Beat the dough with a mixer at low speed or stir with a spatula. The dough should be viscous, semi-thick. Please note that you may need more or less flour depending on the quality of the flour itself and the size of the eggs. Therefore, focus on the consistency of the dough. In order to better understand the intricacies of working with flour, I recommend reading an article on this topic. The link is at the end of the recipe.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour the dough into a greased baking pan. My mold diameter is 20 cm. Place tangerine slices on the dough.

Step 8

Step 8
Spread pieces of butter on top. Sprinkle everything with vanilla sugar. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30-40 minutes. The exact baking time depends on the characteristics of your technique. Read more about how to choose the right baking time and temperature in the article. The link is at the end of the recipe.
