Ingredients
Scale
- etwas Wasser
- Puderzucker zum Bestäuben
- Fett für die Form
- 200 g Zucker
- 1 Packung Vanillezucker
- halbe Packung Backpulver
- 1 Dose Mandarinen (in Saft, abgetropft, Saft auffangen)
- 4 Eier
- 220 g Butter
- 60 ml Buttermilch
- 350–400 g Mehl
- Paniermehl für die Form
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your baking tin. Grease the tin thoroughly with butter or another suitable fat to prevent sticking. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of breadcrumbs (Paniermehl) over the greased surface, tapping out any excess. Set the prepared tin aside.
- Open the can of mandarins and pour the contents into a sieve placed over a bowl to separate the fruit from the juice. Reserve the juice for later use. If the mandarins are in syrup, you may want to reduce the syrup slightly with a splash of water to balance sweetness.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the butter until it becomes pale and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This ensures a smooth and airy batter.
- Add the sugar and vanilla sugar to the butter-egg mixture. Continue to beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy. This step helps to dissolve the sugar and gives the cake a fine crumb.
- Pour in the buttermilk and continue mixing on low speed until it is fully blended into the batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Whisk together to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually sift the flour and baking powder mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix gently on low speed or fold in with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
- In a measuring cup, combine the reserved mandarin juice with a little water to make up a generous amount of liquid (about 100 ml, or as needed for a soft but not runny batter). Gradually add this liquid to the batter, mixing gently to loosen the mixture and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Once the batter is ready, gently fold in the drained mandarin segments, being careful not to break them apart too much. The fruit should be evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.
- Preheat your oven to 185°C (top and bottom heat). Place the cake in the center of the oven and bake for about 50 minutes. About halfway through baking, check the color of the cake; if it is browning too quickly, loosely cover the cake with a sheet of baking paper or aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- After 50 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, sift a generous layer of powdered sugar over the top to finish. For an extra treat, you can also drizzle the cooled cake with melted chocolate or a chocolate glaze if desired.
- Slice and serve the cake as a delightful treat with coffee or tea. Enjoy your homemade Buttermilch Rührkuchen mit Mandarinen!
Notes
For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. You can use fresh mandarins when in season, but canned mandarins provide consistent results and moisture. If you prefer a different finish, a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a bit of mandarin juice can be drizzled over the cooled cake. This cake keeps well for 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
