Step 1
Boil the
Clementines (5)
for 2 hours. Drain and cool. If they have seeds, remove them. Vigorously mix the softened fruits together to until you have a thick paste.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F). Grease a 9-inch pan, and place a round piece of parchment paper on the bottom.
Step 3
Line the perimeter of the pan with thin slices of
Clementines (as needed)
.
Step 4
Mix the clementine paste,
Granulated Sugar (200 g)
, and
Brown Sugar (110 g)
together until smooth.
Step 5
Add the
Eggs (6)
,
Almond Flour (200 g)
,
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (30 g)
,
Vegetable Oil (30 mL)
, and
Baking Powder (4 g)
and mix until uniform. Pour into the prepared pan and place in the oven on the middle rack.
Step 6
Bake for about 40-50 minutes. Be sure to start checking for doneness at 40 minutes or earlier. If it looks like it's burning, cover with foil for the last few minutes. When I baked it in a cast-iron skillet it only took 30 minutes. It's done when it no longer has a jiggle in the center and is firm to the touch.
Step 7
Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Remove from the pan by loosening the sides with a butter knife, placing a serving dish over the cake pan, and flipping the cake upside down onto the serving dish. Remove the parchment paper.
Step 8
Sprinkle with Powdered Confectioners Sugar and Chocolate Shavings, if desired. Great job! Thanks to your outstanding baking skills and with a little help from your oven, the delicious cake is now ready.
