Why You’ll Love Clementine Cake
It truly doesn’t get any easier than this cake! I’m all about simplicity and convenience, and this cake is the poster child for simple yet delicious. With only 10 minutes of prep time, a blender, two clementines 🍊(no peeling required, folks) and a few kitchen staples, you’ll have the most refreshing, moist, melt-in-your-mouth 🤤 clementine loaf.
What is a Clementine?
A clementine is a tangor, a citrus fruit hybrid between a willow leaf mandarin orange and a sweet orange, named in honor of Clément Rodier who was a French missionary. Unlike oranges, Clementines are smaller, with smoother skin and a brighter color. Clementines also taste sweeter and have very few varieties compared to oranges.
How to Prepare Clementine Cake
🔥 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper and baking spray. 🌀 Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender, starting with the wet ingredients. Blend for 15-20 seconds until a thick pourable batter forms. Do not over-blend! ♨️ Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean 2 inches from the side. 🧊 Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then remove it from the loaf pan. ❄️ Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
