Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams clementines about 3 whole ones
  • 125 grams sugar
  • 125 grams blanched almond meal
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the clementines in the microwave for 2 minutes, until slightly swollen and softened. Let them cool enough to handle, and keep in mind the actual cooking time varies on the wattage of your microwave (mine is 700 watts).
  • Add the cooled clementines to a food processor, and pulse until pulverized with some small bits intact (imagine a blender could work, too).
  • Transfer chunky clementine puree to a bowl. Add the eggs, almond flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir until just mixed.
  • Scrape into a greased 8-inch springform tin. Bake at 35 to 40 minutes, until set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving. See original post for further serving note.
