Clementine pudding cake recipe

This simple cake has just five ingredients and is full of zingy citrus flavours. It's similar to a pineapple upside down cake, so you get the lovely topping of sliced clementines. It's equally nice whether served hot or cold. See method

  1. Heat the oven to gas mark 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
  2. Remove zest from 3 clementines, cut away remaining peel and pith with a sharp knife and slice to approx 1cm, removing seeds.
  3. Line a 20cm springform tin with nonstick baking paper and arrange clementine slices over the base.
  4. Cream together the butter, sugar and zest until light and fluffy, add 3tbsp hot water and whisk vigorously. Add eggs and whisk again - mixture may split but don't worry. Add flour to sponge mix and fold in until smooth and evenly blended.
