Old-Fashioned Clementine Pound Cake
- 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pans
- 3 cups sugar
- 8 large eggs, room temperature
- Zest and juice of 1 clementine
- 4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pans
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- Juice of 2 clementines

- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the oven rack to the center of the oven.
- Grease two loaf pans with butter and dust with flour.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using the paddle attachment, beat until light and fluffy, stopping once or twice to scrap down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; then add the clementine juice and zest and the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to get rid of any lumps.
- Add the flour to the mixer in two additions, alternating with the milk, and mixing until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, until golden and light.
- Let the cakes cool for 15 minutes before turning them out of the pans.
- Set the cakes right-side-up on a rack to cool.
- For the glaze: In a bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and the clementine juice and zest.
- Whisk together until smooth.
- Apply the glaze to the cakes while they are still warm.
