clem cake375 grams clementines (approximately 5 small)
6 eggs
225 grams white sugar
250 grams ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Poke each clementine 3 or 4 times with a knife.   Put the clementines in a saucepan and cover with boiling water, cook until soft. Dump the clementines (whole) in a food processor and process until smooth.
In large bowl beat eggs and sugar until light colored and doubled in volume (about 5 minutes). Add in chopped clementines and mix well.  Then add ground almonds and baking powder and mix until combined. Pour mixture into pan and bake for about 45 minutes (when a skewer comes out clean). Cool in the pan on a rack.   Once cake is cold, remove from pan and pull off any parchment.
