Ingredients

Servings
  • clementine around 100g / 3½ ounces, small
  • 150 g white sugar ¾ cup
  • 170 g butter ¾ cup
  • 3 egg weighing 180g / 6¼ ounces in their shells, medium
  • 100 g spelt flour ⅚ cup (see note 1
  • 60 g ground almonds ½ cup
  • 50 g polenta ½ cup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • powdered sugar to sprinkle, aka icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash your clementine and then cut into quarters. Blitz in a food processor or blender (see note 2).
  2. Preheat the oven to 175℃ / 350℉. Line and/or grease a 6” / 18cm springform pan.
  3. Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add one egg at a time, making sure it is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Combine the flour, almonds, polenta, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time.
  6. Finally, add your clementine (there should be about 2 tablespoons once it has been blitzed).
  7. Dollop the batter into your prepared pan and bake in the lower part of the oven for 35-45 minutes. It is ready when a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for ten minutes before removing the outer edge of the springform. 
  9. Place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
  10. When ready to serve, sprinkle a little icing / powdered sugar over the top of the cake.
  11. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone and some fresh fruit (if you like).

Notes

  • You can use regular flour in place of spelt. All you need to do is a straight swap using the same measurements.
  • Although giving the clementine a good blitz is better, you can still make this cake without a food processor. Just remove the peel and cut it into very tiny pieces. Then, cut up the clementine wedges.
