Author Notes
The Tangerine Bread will seduce your palate with its softness and your nose with its fragrance.
This tasteful cake represents the perfect combination of sweetness and bitterness due to the tangerines.
The recipe is quick, easy, and simple: just grab a bowl, a whisker, or a mixer, and it’s done…you don’t even need to peel the fruits!
No butter, but EVO: so the cake is lighter and healthier.
Moreover, the Tangerine is a winter fruit, and it is a good source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It is appreciated because of its pulp, but also for the oil extract from the skin.
