FRUIT-FILLED CLEMENTINE CAKE



Fruit-filled clementine cake image

A beautiful, moist gluten-free cake packed with zingy citrus flavours, wonderful for Christmas

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 small clementines
200g unsalted butter , softened, plus extra for greasing
140g raisin
140g sultana
140g currant
100g glacé cherry , quartered
2 tbsp brandy
200g dark brown sugar
3 eggs , beaten
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
pinch ground cloves
140g polenta
1 tsp baking powder (we used Fiddes Payne, which is gluten-free)
icing sugar , to decorate (most are gluten-free, but check the packaging)
100g ground almond
4 clementines
140g caster sugar

Steps:

  • To make the cake, place the clementines in a small pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hr or until tender. Drain and cool.
  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter a 20cm springform cake tin and line the base with a disc of buttered baking parchment. Cut the cooked clementines in half and remove any pips. Place in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not puréed.
  • Combine the raisins, sultanas, currants, cherries and brandy in a bowl. Add the clementine pulp and mix well. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale. Add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, mixing well between each addition. In another bowl, combine the spices, ground almonds, polenta and baking powder. Fold into the creamed mixture along with the dried fruit and clementine pulp.
  • Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 mins. Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 and continue to cook for a further 40 mins. You may need to loosely cover the top of the cake with a sheet of baking parchment for the final 20 mins to prevent it browning too quickly. Cool in the tin for 30 mins before turning out onto a cooling rack.
  • To make the topping, slice the clementines to a 5mm thickness. Tip the sugar into a saucepan with 140ml water and cook over a low heat, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved. Put the clementine slices in the pan and stir through. To keep the clementines submerged in the syrup, cut out a circle of greaseproof paper to fit into the pan and place over the fruit. Cook over a low heat for 1 hr until glossy and translucent. Remove and spread out over greaseproof paper to cool.
  • To serve, dust the whole cake with icing sugar, then arrange the clementine slices, overlapping, over the top of the cake.

CLEMENTINE CAKE



Clementine Cake image

This dessert, loosely based on a Sephardic orange cake, uses whole clementines, peels and all, for a flavor rich in citrus. The cooking time may seem long, but much of it doesn't require much attention from the baker. And the first step, reducing the fruit, may be done ahead of time.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium clementines (about 375 grams)
Spray cooking oil
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups almond flour or very finely ground blanched almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
Powdered sugar, chocolate glaze or candied clementines, for garnish

Steps:

  • 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. Purée in a food processor or blender and set aside. (May be done up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking oil, line bottom with parchment paper and spray paper with oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the sugar, salt and clementine purée. Add 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. Transfer to wire rack set over baking sheet. After 10 minutes, run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake; remove cake from pan. Peel off parchment paper and return cake to wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with dusting of powdered sugar, or with chocolate glaze and/or candied clementines.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy clementines: This will ensure that your cake is moist and flavorful.
  • Zest the clementines before juicing them: This will add extra flavor to your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.

  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the cake will make it dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
