Ingredients

350g clementines (or satsumas) about 3-6 fruits

6 large eggs

225g caster sugar

50g Asda Free From Plain Flour

1 level tsp Dr Oetker Gluten Free Baking Powder

250g ground almonds

Icing sugar, to decorate

Method

1
Put the fruit in a pan. Cover with cold water. Simmer, covered, for 1 and 1/2 hours. Drain. Halve, discard pips and purée the fruit (plus peel) with a hand-held blender.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line a 22cm shallow square tin with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl, over hot water, until pale and mousse-like. This will take 10-15 minutes.
3
Sift the plain flour and baking powder, then add the almonds and citrus purée. Fold in gently until just evenly mixed.
4
Transfer to the tin and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Check after 40 minutes and if the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil.
5
Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until cold. Just before serving, dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
