CLEMENTINE AND CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE

Clementine and Chocolate Chip Cake image

I made the proto-type for this clementine cake by digging through the kitchen to see what we had. My seven-year-old son adored it. This is the second iteration and I found it's a winner. The whole fruit and whole flour provide a decent amount of nutrition for a dessert. The texture came out surprising smooth. Enjoy.

Ingredients

4 large (2-1/2" dia)s clementines, peeled and segmented

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
