Tasty Tuesday: Homespun Clementine Cake

Yesterday we celebrated the Summer Solstice. Yes, it was on Sunday, but Father's Day took precedence... And this is the cake that I *so* wish we could have had, but sadly, clementines were no where to be found... Perhaps we can figure out a way to substitute canned mandarin oranges or something else... It is a totally yummeh cake! Golden yellow and firm, almost caramelly, with sweet & juicy chunks of real Clementines, topped with the yummiest fluffy frosting...

Homespun Clementine Cake

• 3 seedless clementines, peels and pith removed, cubed
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 egg

P.S. I may have shared this recipe before, but I couldn't seem to find it in my archives, so maybe I didn't...
