Now you may know this whole orange cake from the movie, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. In the movie, the clementine cake wasn’t topped with ganache but instead candied clementine slices, but I thought what goes better than chocolate and orange? So I added a chocolate glaze and put my own fun twist on the Secret Life Of Walter Mitty recipe! But yo...

So although all clementines are mandarins, not all mandarins are considered clementines. For this cake, I used 5 whole clementines, or those Cuties in the bag at the store.
I love that this clementine cake uses almond flour. It gives it another dimension of flavor, and also keeps it gluten free too if that’s your thing. Even if it’s not, totally use the almond flour. A tad more expensive, but worth every penny I think. I recommend using almond flour vs. almond meal. Almond flour uses almonds without the skins on so it...
Make clementine puree
Place whole unpeeled clementines in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, adding more water as needed. Remove clementines with a slotted spoon and, once cool enough to handle, halve and remove any seeds or other hard bits. Place in the bowl of your food processor or blender and give them a quick blitz to turn into a puree and then set aside. Y You can do this step up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated maki...
Prepare The Cake Pan
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking oil, line bottom with parchment paper and spray paper with oil.
Mix up the rest of the cake batter and bake
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the sugar, salt and clementine purée. Add the dry ingredients – the almond flour and baking powder and stir until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and bake until edges are golden brown and starting to pull away from sides of pan, about 1 hour. Test with a cake tester and make sure there is no raw batter on there. You want a few moist crumbs on the cake tester letting you know its done. Transfer to wire rack set over baking sheet. After 10 min...
Puree in advance.If you can, I highly recommend making the clementine cake puree up to 2 days ahead of time. This makes the rest of the recipe quite simple and quick.Add more water. During the boiling process you may need to add more water if the level gets too low. Just keep an eye on the pot and add more if it does.Remove any seeds.From the clementines that is, after boiling. And any other hard bits that may be present before throwing it all in the food processor.Use room temperature eggs.This helps with the mixture coming together easily and helps with cake lifting as well. I place mine in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes before using.Top with candied clementines– Instead of a ganache you can top with candied clementine slices. Make a simple syrup and boil clementine slices in the mixture for 2 hours.Serve with whipped cream– This cake would be delicious with a dollop of fresh whipped cream on the side!Dust with icing sugar– Instead of a ganache, simply dust with powdered sugar- (15)
