• In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 3 clementines for 3 minutes on high. They will sizzle and pop a lot. Set aside and allow to cool in the bowl for a few minutes.
  3 clementines
• While the clementines cool a bit, preheat oven to 350°F. Prep a 9-inch circle cake pan with a layer of parchment on the bottom, then spray well with baking spray.
• In a 10 cup food processor, zoom the microwaved clementines for 1 minute, scraping the bowl halfway through. The mixture should be pureed, but won't be perfectly smooth.
• Add the oil and yogurt, then zoom for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl.
  ½ cup canola or vegetable oil, ½ cup whole-milk yogurt
• Add the sugar, then pulse for 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl.
  1 cup sugar
• Add the eggs and vanilla, then pulse for 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl.
  3 eggs, ½ teaspoon vanilla
• Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until just combined.
  1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Simple Syrup

• While the cake bakes, combine the sugar and clementine juice in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring well every 30 seconds until the sugar is dissolved.
  ⅓ cup sugar, ⅓ cup clementine juice
• Once the cake is finished baking, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Using a wooden skewer, poke holes evenly across the warm cake. Slowly pour the simple syrup over the top, allowing it to sink into the holes. Set aside to cool fully in the pan.

Glaze

• Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined. You want it to be just loose enough to spread to the edges, but thick enough to hold up on the cake.
  1 tablespoon butter, ¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon heavy cream, 1 tablespoon clementine juice, ¼ teaspoon vanilla
• Once the cake is fully cooled, invert it onto a cake plate or cooling rack. Pour the glaze into the center of the cake, then use an offset spatula to spread it gently to the edges of the cake. Right before serving, decorate with fresh clementine slices.
