CANDY CAKE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a 10x15-inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease.
• Place the saltine crackers on the cookie sheet to cover the entire pan in 1 layer of crackers. 
• Melt together the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Once the butter is melted, bring to a boil for 3 minutes while stirring constantly.
• Carefully pour the mixture over the crackers. Spread it overtop so that all of the crackers are covered.
• Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the chocolate to a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave on medium power for 1-minute bursts, stirring between each. When the chocolate is almost melted, stir until smooth. 
• Spoon the chocolate over the crackers, and spread it smooth to completely cover the pan. Decorate with sprinkles. 
• Let the toffee harden until the chocolate is set. Either at room temperature or in the fridge.
• Once completely hardened, remove from the pan peel the aluminum foil off. Break/"crack" it into pieces.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for 10 days. 

Steps:

• Put the clementines in a pot with cold water to cover, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Then finely chop the skins, pith, and fruit in the processor (or by hand, of course).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Beat the eggs. Add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder. Mix well, adding the chopped clementines. I don't like using the processor for this, and frankly, you can't balk at a little light stirring.
• Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, when a skewer will come out clean; you'll probably have to cover the cake with foil after about 40 minutes to stop the top from burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, in the pan on a rack. When the cake is cold, you can take it out of the pan. I think this is better a day after it's made, but I don't complain about eating it anytime.
• I've also made this with an equal weight of oranges and lemons, in which case I increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups and slightly Anglicize it, too, by adding a glaze made of confectioners' sugar mixed to a paste with lemon juice and a little water.
