Accept this cake for it’s wonderfully flawed nature, that I think, we can all forgive given who we were in December. Eating it right out of the oven can be monumentally wrong. Nigella says this cake is even better the next day, and she’s absolutely right. It’s insanely moist, and the crumb is soft, which makes it deliciously decadent and kind of a mess. I’d advise making this cake with no preconceived notions of a clean and proper slice. I’m telling you guys, this is the cake of 2018.

The skin is really what makes the cake intensely citrusy and gives a bite to an otherwise bland, frosting-less cake. All that’s missing is a deeply rich cup of coffee and the fluffiest socks of all time to bring you such joy.ĭid I mention that we are using the whole clementine? That’s why we boil them down, it makes the skin nice and soft. It’s beautifully dense yet incredibly creamy. It’s not meant to imitate a stretchy, bouncy, gluten cake. I love that this cake was never meant to be gluten-free. So, I braved the two hours it takes to boil down 4–5 more clementines and tested away to make this beauty. What makes an orange-y citrus flavor better? There is really only one answer to that equation e=mc^2 - chocolate. And again I ask, how have I never made this cake before?

Order your copy from the Telegraph Bookshop.What to do when you’re feeling fancy, in the mood to bake, have that aching sweet tooth, and you’re still trying to be aware of your 2018 goals? I’ve got an idea, it’s Chocolate Clementine Cake. Recipe from One Tin Bakes Easy by Edd Kimber is published by Kyle Books (£17.99). Stored in a sealed container, this moist cake will keep for three to four days.Cut into slices and serve with extra clementine segments and a dollop of very lightly sweetened whipped cream. Once the cake has cooled, use the parchment to carefully lift it from the tin to a serving platter. Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely in the tin. Scatter the flaked almonds over the top, then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake feels firm to the touch. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.Add the eggs, ground almonds, sugar, salt and vanilla and process for a further 15 seconds, until a smooth batter forms. Place in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and process for 45 seconds, or until smooth. Cut all the fruit into quarters and remove any seeds (there won’t normally be any, but it’s worth checking). Peel half the clementines and discard the peel leave the remaining clementines with the peel intact.Lightly grease a 23 x 33cm baking tin and line with a large single sheet of parchment paper that fully covers both base and sides. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4.Impressively, the batter for this can also be made in roughly 60 seconds. This version removes the need for that step, but still produces a wonderfully moist cake with just the right balance between bitter and sweet.
My only issue with them is that they include a protracted period of boiling the fruit to reduce the bitterness. I have always been a fan of moist orange cakes, the type made with ground almonds or semolina.
