Whole-Clementine Poppy Seed Pound Cake with Earl Grey Glaze

Clementine Poppy Seed Pound Cake with Earl Grey Glaze

Little cuties, clementines, mandarin oranges, tangerines…they’re all (nearly) the same thing.  They’re small, sweet, often seedless oranges.  My family eats quite a few when they’re in season – during winter – so I try to use them in a variety of ways, from sweet to savory, sauces to beverages, zest to juice.  For this recipe, I experimented and used the whole fruit.  ALL of it.  No separate zesting, juicing, or dividing segments; you just puree the whole dang thing.  The flavor is incredible!!
