Citrusy cakes are my downfall, but when they are as delicious as this Clementine Cake, I’m not complaining. I had been dreaming of this cake ever since I saw Nigella bake a version of it on television. I already have a couple of great orange cake recipes I go to over and over, like this Vegan Orange Cake and this Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake, but what really intrigued me about this clementine cake is the fact that it was gluten-free (although non-vegan versions usually include lots of eggs). For my vegan clementine cake, which is also grain-free, I riffed off my own vegan berry almond flour cake recipe, which is also gluten-free and quite gorgeous. And to top it I made the easiest candied clementines. They are not necessary, but they are well worth the few minutes of hands-on time they require. The cake itself couldn’t be easier to make. I make the batter in the food processor, and it took me all of five minutes, once I had my clementines ready to use. Bake this cake, for family, for friends, or just for yourself. Then come back and tell me all about it!
