    List of Ingredients




    Nigella Lawson Clementine Cake - Gluten Free


    4-5 clementines (approximately 1 pound total weight)
    6 large eggs
    1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2
    1 tablespoon additional granulated sugar
    2 1/3 cups finely ground almonds
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

    Recipe





    1 Place whole, unpeeled clementines into a pot and cover with cold water.

    2 Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and let cook 2 hours (she doesn't say to add any additional water in her recipe, but I imagine you may need to add some if too much simmers away).

    3 Drain, let cool, then cut each Clementine in half, remove seeds, and place in food processor- skins and all.

    4 Chop the Clementines in the processor finely.

    5 In a bowl, beat the eggs.

    6 Add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder to the eggs, mixing well.

    7 Add the chopped Clementines by hand and mix to combine.

    8 Pour butter into a greased and parchment lined 8-inch springform pan.

    9 Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 40 minutes, then cover loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning and CONTINUE cooking about another 10 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.

    10 Let cool in the pan on a wire rack overnight.

    11 VARIATION: You can substitute an equal weight of regular oranges or lemons for the Clementines; increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups if you do so.

    12 OPTIONAL GLAZE: If you wish, you may make a glaze from a little powdered sugar mixed with a bit of lemon juice and water and drizzle it over the top (see my recipe for Cinnamon Bun Icing for a good glaze).
