Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Grease and line a 20cm/8inch loose bottomed cake tin.
  • Wash the clementines in warm water, dry and then slice them in half through the equator. Remove any pips.
  • Blend the clementine halves, peel and all, to a smooth puree.
  • In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cornflour and salt.
  • Stir in the clementine purée, soya yoghurt, vanilla and oil until fully combined.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the edges start to pull away from the tin. Test with a skewer — it should come out mostly clean. Cover with parchment or foil if browning too quickly.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the tin before turning out.
