Preparation

Low

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. After washing them well, cut the mandarins in half (crosswise) leaving the peel to remove the seeds, if there are any. Cut them into crosswise pieces so that the blender can easily break the fibers of the fruit. Put the sugar with the mandarin in the blender and wait a few minutes for it to melt a little and be easier to blend. Then blend until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add the eggs one by one to the blender. Add the oil to the mixture and blend just long enough for the ingredients to mix well. In a deep dish, pour the mixture and gradually add the flour so that it doesn't become airborne. It should be a dough that is neither too liquid nor too hard. Pour the mixture into a previously greased and floured container. Cook in the oven at 175 degrees for 40 minutes.
