• Oil the bottom and sides of two 8-inch cake pans.
• Combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and 1 cup of water in a large bowl. Stir in half of the clementine zest and juice. Pour into the prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto a rack and cool completely. While the cakes cool, make the frosting.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add half of the powdered sugar and carefully mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix again until fully combined. Add the remaining clementine juice and zest, then beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes. Add the food coloring to achieve your desired color, starting with a few drops and adding until you get the color you like.
• Place 1 cooled cake layer on a cake stand or plate. Top with about 1/2 cup frosting and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the top and sides of the cake with sprinkles.
• Take the thin slices of clementine and make a slit halfway through. Twist the slices and place on the top of the cake.

CLEMENTINE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9 1/2 x 13-inch casserole dish.
• In the bowl of a electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the water, cake mix, egg whites, 1/2 cup of the clementine juice, the canola oil, and 1 teaspoon of the clementine zest. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish. Place the sections from 2 clementines evenly across the top of the batter; gently press down into batter. Chop the remaining 2 clementines' sections and sprinkle over the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and set it on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, in a small bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon clementine zest, and 5 teaspoons of clementine juice, and beat with a wire whisk until combined. If the frosting is too thick to spread, thin it by adding more juice. Frost the cooled cake.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Dip the clementine sections for the garnish halfway into the chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate until set.
• To serve, cut the cake into slices and place one chocolate-dipped clementine section on each slice.

Transfer one cake layer to a serving plate and spread with 1/2 cup of the frosting; top with another cake layer and 1/2 cup of frosting. Scatter chopped clementine over the frosting.
