Today the Aix market was adorned with these wonderful juicy fruits in colourful heaps, shining in the winter 
sun. Perfect for making a Clementine Cake.
You start by boiling a few of them for two hours which makes the kitchen smell marvellously citrusy. The other main ingredient is almonds – no flour – resulting in a very moist cake. Works as cake, or as a dessert with crème fraiche.
I’ll leave Nigella Lawson to detail her recipe:

Bon Ap’!
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful recipe. I’ll try to make it 🙂 Do I boil these clementines with the skin or without?
With the peel….everything goes in the pot! It’s a lovely cake…
