I was watching ‘The secret life of Walter Mitty’, such an inspiring movie and one of my favorite uplifting movies! I couldn’t help having this strong craving for Clementine cake every time it’s mentioned in the movie. The Clementine cake has a mystical role in the movie which made it even more desirable to have!
So I decided to bake a clementine cake myself, with of course the ingredients I already have with me. Now bare in mind the original recipe asks for Almond Flour or meal, but since I did not have almond flour I substituted it with plain white flour.
So here goes!
Clemantine Cake
Walter Mitty Clemantine Cake.
Ingredients
- 3 – 4 medium clementine’s (washed and peeled) keep some clementine peels separately
- 1 cup sugar (1 and a 1/2 if you need more sweet)
- 3/4 softened butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups white flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions

- Now add the butter and eggs process till smooth
- Add the flour and baking powder and process until mixed well
- Now spoon the batter into a baking tray
- Bake at 200 degrees for 50 minutes until golden (depending on your oven). Place a toothpick to see how baked the cake is.
When the cake is well baked, take off the oven and place on the cooling rack to cool. Enjoy with a nice latte or tea 🙂
