Fabulous cake!! The first time I made this it was around christmas time a few years ago, and I make this at least once a year. The green & blacks cookbook recommend grating the top of the cake with maya gold chocolate when it comes out of the oven, I will give this a try next time I make it!
NickkiThis is an amazing cake, baked for my guys at work as a preXmas treat. It definitely was a success. If you are after something personally rewarding without any pain, try this one out.
Esther72Simply divine.
LaluzLovely moist cake, although Nigella's chocolate orange cake is even better!
zba1983Do grate the chocolate over the top, and a little gold leaf at its edges (I keep this subtle, so people aren't sure if they really see it or not) will be so pretty you'll hold off eating it until the next day. It is better as it waits. Third day, even better.
LindbergThis is such a beautiful cake, particularly the lemon version which I make throughout the year when clementines are not in season. It is, by far, the best lemon cake ever! This recipe also happens to be the perfect cake to make for those who have a gluten and/or lactose intolerance.
cremebruleeI have cooked today for the first time and definitely I have to classify this cake as an outstanding one for many reasons being simple, seasonal, light, good for gluten intolerance. Last but not least one of the best cake smells which invades the whole house when cooking it. I have dressed it with a white chocolate cover and decorated with small marzipan clementines. Divine. I am gonna try the lemon version soon.
fairychefJust made this cake which I have done before, I sprinkled some flaked almonds on top this time and it looks great ....also might contribute to the top not burning so much.... Happy Christmas to all xx
WILDWALKSSo good to read these reviews! I just took my first clementine cake out of the oven. I had no trouble with the top overbaking. It came out a lovely golden color, even after a full hour in the oven. I reserved the liquid from boiling the clementines, and I'll use this in making the glaze. Chocolate sounds lovely as an option for topping the cake.
SandyannThis is a fab easy peasy cake that is a hit with everyone without having to make a point of it being gluten free. I grate the Maya Gold Green and Black's over the top whilst still warm. Have served it plain or more as a dessert with cointreau marscapone or cream. Delish!!!!
