Christmas has recently passed and I’m craving simple and light desserts like my 5 minute cakes, a strand I made for you full of easy variations perfect for a good start to the day.
Today I propose the version with tangerines, very fluffy and aromatic it contains no butter and is also perfect for filling; if you want to prepare a lactose-free version you can replace whole milk with almond or soy milk.
