I’ve used tiny molds, but you can do it in a big one if it makes it easier for you.

And what are the tricks to make Tangerine cakes to drool for?
There are no special tricks here.
My advise is that you to use a blender or a kitchen robot for this recipe, since it will be easier to mash the tangerines and it doesn’t take much work.
The idea is to gather all the ingredients with the exception of flour and baking powder.
When the flour and baking powder are sieved they will have an even better result because the cakes will become fluffier. But it’s not mandatory and it works perfectly in any case.
Silicone forms are our best friends, because it is not necessary to grease them. In other words, your work gets even easier!
Finally, before you put any coating (in this case, icing sugar), let the cakes cool down. Otherwise, the topping will melt.
