A few days ago I bought a
huge bag of clementines, they looked so nice and bright I couldn’t stop myself from buying them,
before leaving the grocery store I’ve already made up my mind about what to
cook once home.
This recipe is a wonderful,
special, full of flavor, exquisite pound cake. Combined with a coffee early in the morning…just brightens
up your day. Let me know what you
think of it.
Ingredients
½ Cup Butter (1 stick)
1 Cup of Sugar
3 Eggs
8 oz Mascarpone Cheese
Juice from 4 Clementines
1 ½ Tablespoon Clementine
zest
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
Confectioners Sugar to dust
Preheat the oven to 350
degrees. Cream the butter until
smooth, add sugar and continue mixing.
Add the
eggs one by one mixing after each addition. Add the mascarpone cheese, the clementines juice and zest.
Combine the flour, baking
soda and salt in a bowl. Gently
incorporate the flour mix to the butter mix. When well-blended pour the batter into a 9x5x3 pan
previously buttered and floured.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center and comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for 10
minutes on a cooling rack before removing it from the pan. Once at room temperature dust the cake
with the confectioners sugar and serve.
