Clementine moist Pound Cake

So I wanted to have cake. I couldn’t really explain why. I just wanted cake…

But with a little extra something…

And bam! I made a clementine moist pound cake!!

Be ready for a super yummy cake, really really yummy, super moist, really really moist, and super easy to make!!

This clementine moist pound cake requires 5 to 10 minutes of preparation (I swear it on my food processor!!), just enough time to preheat your oven… Then a rather gently baking at 160 degrees during 50 minutes (a bit more depending on your oven) and that’s it!!

Talking about baking, I recommend, if your oven isn’t too old, a traditional cooking (not convection) which will help your pound cake to develop better. If you have this option, it’s cool.

This clementine moist pound cake recipe only requires clementine zests, that’s why it’s definitely better to use organic clementines. You will just need the juice of half a fruit to make the icing if you want one.

Then, a nice cup of tea, a hot chocolate or a good coffee and you’ll enjoy happiness!!

The utensils:

My food processor (or a large bowl with a steady whisk since the batter will be quite compact),

A grater for the clementine zests,

A small sauce pan

And a 26-28 cm pound cake mold.

That’s all!!

Are you ready? Shall we put our aprons on?

The recipe, Chef!
