I am not going to tell you that it is my favorite cake ever. … Oh right, I forgot to mention that this cake was darn good. Two years ago: Cream Cheese Marbled Brownies These days, we’ve disloyal all over the place. One year ago: Our then-favorite chocolate chip cookie. And because it has no butter and no flour, I figure that the Resolutions-oriented among us will appreciate it - as well as the people still waiting for an update on last year’s clementine fiasco. In this case, you take whole clementines and boil them for two hours before grinding them up, adding some sugar, a lot of eggs, a ton of ground almonds and baking powder and that’s it: you have a cake. It’s led me to some wonderful things, like this unfathomably good Strawberry Sorbet, a Whole Lemon Tart, Shaker Lemon Pie and more candied peels than I can count. Part of the reason making this cake seemed like the longest wait ever is that it endlessly fascinated me - I cannot read a recipe that uses a whole citrus fruit, rind and all, and not be curious to try it. I think we’re on box four or five, which is kind of frightening when you realize there are just two of us. Nevertheless, I suspect that each and every one of our households has adopted one or ten of these crates this winter. I can’t even think about how far off they are. And tomatoes… flavorful, non-mealy tomatoes. ![]() Last week, I came upon an artichoke recipe that is clearly designed to blow my artichoke-loving mind but are artichokes (that you’d want to buy, not that one with a fuzzy pelt I saw last week) anywhere? Nope. When you know you want to make something but the item is out of season, it seems like its time will never arrive. ![]() But, by that point in the winter I was tired of clementines and filed it away to try the following year. Last year, when I made that dud of a clementine clafoutis a whole bunch of you brought Nigella Lawson’s Clementine Cake to my attention.
