  1. Remove the zest from one large tangerine. Squeeze the juice out of it, you will need 40 ml.
  2. Wash and dry the dried fruits. Peel the dates from the seeds, cut into medium pieces, also cut the dried apricots, leaving a few slices untouched for the top. All products must be at room temperature. Add the tangerine zest to the dried fruit mixture. Turn on the oven and preheat it to t 170 degrees.
  3. To prepare, mix spices and soda. Fry the walnuts in a dry frying pan and peel them. Rub in a mortar, but not in flour, but in grits.
  4. RUB the soft butter with brown sugar. You can also take white sugar, but brown gives baking a delicate caramel flavor.
  5. Pour one egg at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, beating at a low speed of the mixer.
  6. Add the chopped nuts and mix.
  7. Stir the soda with tangerine juice, pour into the mixture, add the sifted flour. Combine into a homogeneous mass. Add all the dried fruits and mix quickly, stirring with a spatula from the bottom up.
  8. Prepare the molds, if necessary, lubricate with oil or cover with oiled parchment. You can bake a cupcake in one large form, it’s at your discretion. This mass of dough was enough for 3 small cupcakes with a diameter of 16 cm at the bottom and one with a diameter of 12 cm at the bottom. the diameter is indicated at the bottom, because the cupcakes expand slightly towards the top.
  9. We send it to the preheated oven. Bake in large molds for 1 hour. On average, like me, 40 minutes. After baking, remove the cupcakes from the molds and cool on a grill or towel.
  10. Before serving, lubricate with thick jam or jam, applied in a thin layer. Let it soak in a little.
  11. Sprinkle with almond petals or ground nuts, put slices of dried apricots, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
