Clementine cake
This easy-to-make clementine cake is an end-of-year delight for the clementine season.
It's a cake with a double clementine flavor: the whole fruit in the dough on the one hand, and a syrup made with their juice to punctuate it after baking on the other.

Step-by-step recipe
Step 1 - ⌛ 2 min.
Clementines
Wash, then cut off and discard the ends (top and bottom) of 200 g clementines.
If possible, choose organic clementines, as both fruit and rind are used, and Corsican clementines for their extraordinary taste.
Step 3 - ⌛ 3 min.
...and place in a microwave oven on maximum power, 3 times 1 minute, with a 1-minute pause in between.
The clementines will cook, become very soft, and give off a little juice, which should be stored for future use.

Remarks
