Ingredients for cake: 250gm (appx 8 oz) sugar 155gm (appx 5 oz) flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg 350gm (appx 11 oz) fresh mandarins 1 teaspoon vanilla extract	Ingredients for cake topping: 140gm (appx 5 oz) brown sugar 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons milk

	Method: Mix all ingredients (except the vanilla extract) in a bowl and beat for three minutes on medium speed. Add the vanilla Pour the mix into a greased or non-stick square cake pan and bake at 180o C (about 350o F) for 30 to 35 minutes until cooked. Remove the cake from the oven and while it's still warm, poke lots of holes in top with a fork (this allows the topping to sink into the cake). For the topping, mix the ingredients in a pan over the stove until the mixture comes to a boil, then pour it over the hot cake.

	Notes: This cake can be served hot or cold If you don't have fresh mandarins you can use canned mandarins - but if you do, you should drain the can and only use the mandarin slices (they usually provide all the liquid required) If you wish, you can also add 125gm (about 4oz) of pecan nuts, macadamias or walnuts to the cake mix to create a delicious variant of the basic recipe If the cake mixture is a little dry, just add extra mandarin juice until it reaches the desired consistency
