Description:

We finally had that Moroccan-themed potluck that I've mentioned in several previous posts. I made preserved lemon spiced chickpeas, and this clementine cake was Lee-Anne's contribution. As it turns out, it was a personal favourite of one of the people there. Apparently there's a movie where a guy bribes his way into a bunch of places by offering a clementine cake.

She added the ground meat. The original recipe didn't give a temperature to set the oven to, but we did 350 since it seemed standard. It also said to bake it in tinfoil for 1/2 an hour and then put it back in, but it didn't say for how long while uncovered. I thought maybe an equivalent time, but it was done earlier. The link is a video by someone with ADHD, so the inconsistency makes sense. The simpli...
