It's a keeper! Yum, I tweaked it by boiling the clementines with a cinnamon stick and added nutmeg and almond essence. Also added orange extract to the glaze.

Mine turned out creamy inside, like a pudding cake. I took the seeds out of the fruit before, and made the batter in the blender. I also used a mix of demerara and brown sugar instead of white. There's no bitterness at all and the clementine flavor is amazing, it just bursts in your mouth. Didn't make the glaze but since it came out so custardy inside, the cake didn't need it. Definitely a keeper.

Made into a bundt Clementine cake and drizzled with Clementine syrup. Has a Clementine marmalade taste a little tart, but not too Sharp. Lovely addition to the festive season.

Turned out great! Super moist & loved the fresh citrus flavor. Baked in bundt pan. Iced with icing & topped with candied clementine slices simmered in sugar water & a drop of vanilla. I used a little syrup in the icing instead of fresh clementine juice. It was awesome! The perfect ending to our Walter Mitty dinner & movie night
