- Peel 2 of the Darling Clementines and leave a third unpeeled (optional). Cut all three into quarters.
- In a food processor, process clementines and granulated sugar until smooth. Rind should be reduced to small flecks throughout the mixture. (Watch for an occasional seed.) Add ¾ cup butter, then eggs, processing after each addition until smooth. Batter will appear curdled.
- Add flour and baking powder, and process until combined. Spoon into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spoon or spatula.
- Bake in preheated oven about 40 to 45 minutes until golden. Cool on rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan.
