Elevate your recipes with the vibrant flavor of grapefruit, including this irresistible showstopping cake.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) milk
  • 30.00 ml poppy seeds
  • 200g (1 1/3 cups) plain flour, sifted
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour, sifted
  • 285g (1 1/3 cups) caster sugar
  • 150g butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 20.00 ml finely grated grapefruit rind
  • 150ml fresh grapefruit juice
  • 150g (1 cup) pure icing sugar, sifted
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Brush a 22cm bundt pan with melted butter and mix milk with 1 tablespoon poppy seeds in a bowl. Allow it to soak for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Create a well in the center. In a separate jug, whisk together the butter, eggs, grapefruit rind, and 125ml (1/2 cup) grapefruit juice until fully combined.
  • Combine the egg and milk mixtures with the flour mixture until evenly mixed. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Position the cake on the rack above a baking tray. Mix together icing sugar and the rest of the grapefruit juice in a small bowl. Drizzle the icing over the cake and sprinkle with the remaining poppy seeds. Allow it to rest until set.
