Spiced Clementine Cake

I had a bowl full of clementines on the counter that looked like they were days from going bad, so I looked for clementine recipes. I found this spiced clementine cake recipe from Unicorns in the Kitchen.  I served it topped with whipped cream. It’s a simple cake that isn’t too sweet and is very tasty–my whole family loved it, especially my husband.

Spiced Clementine Cake

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp ginger
• ½ tsp allspice
• ½ tsp cardamom
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• ½ cup freshly squeezed clementine juice
• 1 tbsp clementine zest

How to Make Spiced Clementine Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, allspice, cardamom, and salt in a bowl; mix well.

Whisk together the melted butter and white sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and whisk. Add in the fresh clementine juice and zest, then whisk until well combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out with very little crumb.

Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.

When ready to serve, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, then slice.

Serve with whipped cream on top, if desired. Enjoy.
