Like Claudia Roden’s famous orange cake, this uses the technique of boiling the whole fruit then pureeing it to add to the batter. It is a great way to add a whole lot of intense citrus flavour without the bitterness you would get from raw fruit.

Instructions

1.Wash the tangelos and put the whole fruit into a small saucepan and just cover with water.
2.Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1½ hours until very soft. Drain and cool.
3.On a plate, cut open the tangelos and discard the pips and any tough stem parts.
4.Put the skin, flesh and any juice into a blender and purée to a smooth pulp.
5.Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze until needed.
6.Heat the oven to 180℃.
7.Grease 6 x 10cm ramekins (or 8 x 8cm ramekins or one medium/large pudding dish) well with butter and set aside.
8.In a clean bowl, whisk the egg white to soft peaks. Set aside.
9.In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and 6 tablespoons sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides a few times during beating.
10.Add the 2 whole eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the tangelo purée.
11.Using a large spoon, fold the egg white and flour into the creamed mixture.
12.Divide between the greased ramekins and bake for 25-30 minutes until risen and golden.
13.To make the crème anglaise, put the rosemary and cream in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
14.Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
15.Whisk the remaining egg yolk with 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl, strain over the cream while whisking then put back in the saucepan.
16.Heat, stirring regularly over a medium heat for 5 minutes until just bubbling and a little thickened.
17.Serve with the puddings.
