• In a small saucepan bring the final 3 ingredients to a boil and pour over the hot cake as soon as it comes out of the oven Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Place mandarins in a saucepan, cover with water and boil for 1 hour.
• Leave to cool.
• On a plate, cut mandarins open, remove pips and place pulp and skins into blender.
• Process until smooth.
• There should be just over a cup of pulp.
• Beat eggs and sugar until thick and fluffy.
• Add mandarin pulp, almonds and baking powder.
• Mix well, and pour into a greased and floured 8 inch cake pan.
• Bake at 375°F for 1 hour.
• Cake will fall slightly in center.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Mix together yellow cake mix, mandarin oranges and their juice, applesauce, and 4 egg whites.
• Pour mix in a 9 x 13 pan sprayed with PAM or nonstick spray and bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile mix together cool whip, crushed pineapple and vanilla pudding.
• Once cake has finished and cooled, use pineapple frosting to coat the top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Put the clementines in a pot with cold water to cover, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Then finely chop the skins, pith, and fruit in the processor (or by hand, of course).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Beat the eggs. Add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder. Mix well, adding the chopped clementines. I don't like using the processor for this, and frankly, you can't balk at a little light stirring.
• Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, when a skewer will come out clean; you'll probably have to cover the cake with foil after about 40 minutes to stop the top from burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, in the pan on a rack. When the cake is cold, you can take it out of the pan. I think this is better a day after it's made, but I don't complain about eating it anytime.
• I've also made this with an equal weight of oranges and lemons, in which case I increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups and slightly Anglicize it, too, by adding a glaze made of confectioners' sugar mixed to a paste with lemon juice and a little water.

• Drain the mandarins and cool them to room temperature. Once cooled, split them open with your hands and remove any seeds. Puree the mandarins, including the skins, in a food processor. Add the sugar and eggs and mix together until combined. Add the ground almonds to the mandarin purée and stir thoroughly.
• Pour the mixture into a well-greased 24cm (9 inch) springform cake tin and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until the cake looks set in the middle, springs back when touched and comes away from the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin.
• While the cake is cooling, put the extra sugar in a saucepan with 60 ml (1/4 cup) of water over a low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange zest and boil the mixture until it just starts to caramelise. Lift the zest out with a fork and cool it on a plate.
• Serve the cake with caramelised citrus zest and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
