clementines

Whoever has seen the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” knows what it is all about. This cake has a relatively big role in the movie. In any case, this is a gluten-free, juicy cake and worth trying.

Preparation time: 45 min preparation, 1h to 1h 30 min preparation
Level: Easy
Quantity: 24 cm cake

Ingredients:
6 medium clementines, it is better to use organic fruits as the cake will also go into the clementine cream
300g almond flour
250g of crystal sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
100g of powdered sugar

Preparation:
1. Take three peeled and one unpeeled clementine, put to the water covering the clementines and bring to a boil. Boil over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Some recipes advise not to peel clementines at all, but then the cake comes too bitter.
2. Beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla into a fluffy foam
3. Chop the clementines coarsely cooked with a knife, add to the beaten egg and whisk.
4. Add almond flour and baking powder, mix well with a spoon.
5. Pour the mixture into the 24 cm baking mold and bake at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes.
While the cake is in the oven, cut the remaining two clementines into slices, melt two to three tablespoons of sugar in a pan and boil the clementine slices for about 30 minutes, until they will caramelize nicely.
Once the cake is ready, let it cool completely.
Prepare the sugar syrup by adding 2 tablespoons of water to 100 g of icing sugar, pour the icing on the cooled cake.
Place the caramelized clementine slices on the cake.
Ready!
