Instructions
1: In a saucepan, bring water, sugar, honey, and rosemary to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. 2: Add clementine slices and reduce heat to a simmer, turning slices until tender and syrup is reduced, about 40 minutes. 3: Strain clementine slices reserving syrup to use on cake. 4: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange slices in a single layer and cool completely before using to decorate. 5: Grease a 10-inch cake pan with a knob of butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. 6: Sift together flours, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. 7: In another bowl, whisk melted butter with olive oil. 8: In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix eggs, sugar, and clementine zest on high until pale and thickened, about 3 minutes. 9: Lower mixer speed and alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients starting and ending with the dry. 10: Once mixed, pour batter into prepared cake pan. 11: Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. 12: Once baked, poke holes all over the top of the cake with a skewer. 13: Pour 1 cup of the reserved clementine syrup on top of the cake. 14: Let cool to room temperature before transferring to a cake stand. 15: Place mascarpone, confectioner's sugar, heavy whipping cream, and clementine zest in a food processor and pulse until smooth. 16: Dollop frosting in the center of the cake, spreading evenly toward the edges. 17: Sprinkle with chopped pistachios. 18: Top with candied clementine slices and rosemary sprigs.View original recipe
