Put the clementines in a pot with cold water (enough to cover clementines), bring to the boil and cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until soft.
Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the pips. Dump the clementines - skins, pith, fruit and all - and give a quick blitz in a food processor.
Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Butter and line a Springform tin. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs by hand. Add the sugar, almonds and baking powder, mixing well, then finally adding the pulped oranges.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until done . The cake started browning after 20 minutes, so cover with foil to prevent the top from burning.
