About a month ago I noticed that Whole Foods started carrying the satsumas with the stems and leaves on them and I knew I NEEDED them. By needed them I really just wanted to photograph them. Once I was done taking pictures I decided to put together a recipe. Satsumas are so festive and fun for the holiday season.
I originally made a Satsuma cake and then decided that I didn’t like the cake and turned it in to a bread loaf instead. I use only ONE flour in this grain free loaf….WOO-HOO…..and it is Otto’s Cassava Flour. If you have not gotten some of this flour yet then you really should do so. It is one of my favorite gluten free flours and you can make TORTILLAS!
The batter has cinnamon and lemon zest to give it a spice and citrus forward flavor and then it is topped with sliced satsumas. When it comes out of the oven you top it with a citrus, maple glaze while it is still hot. The flavor and texture is very similar to a pound cake. It is a great addition to any holiday event or party!
Enjoy
