Drain the mandarins well in a sieve. Place the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy using the whisk of a hand mixer. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until the sugar has dissolved. Then stir in the orange liqueur. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
