Ingredients
Scale
- 5 whole clementines just under 1 pound
- 6 large eggs
- 2.5 cups finely ground almond flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Place whole clementines (including rind) in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle boil and cook for 2 hours. Drain and cool clementines.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line an 8 or 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Cut cooled clementines in half, remove seeds, and blend until smooth in a food processor or blender.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs well. Add the clementine puree and remaining ingredients and mix until just combined. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in the food processor used for clementines.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the cake sit for an additional 5 minutes in the oven.
- Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure clementines are completely cooled before blending them for smooth texture.
The cake can be served plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
