Grapefruit Butter Cake
Grapefruit Butter Cake
Ingredients: (adapted from Jane’s Corner with slight adjustment)
175g Butter
4 Eggs – separated
180g Sugar
165g Self raising flour
1/4 tsp Salt
30ml Grapefruit juice
1 tbsp Orange liqueur (contreau)
*zest from 1 one grapefruit
1 tbsp Grapefruit pulp
Method:
- Line and grease a 7″ baking pan. Pre-heat the oven 180C.
- Sieve flour together with salt and set aside.
- Beat butter and half of the sugar until light and fluffy. Add in yolk one at a time. Beat well after adding each one. Then add in grapefruit juice and zest, mix well.
- Lower speed, add in flour gradually. Mix well add in grapefruit pulp, fold with a spatula and set it aside.
- In another clean bowl, whisk egg white with the balance of sugar on high speed until soft peaks.
- Fold in the egg whites into the butter mixture until well blended. Do not over-do it or the egg whites will deflate.
- Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when tested. (note: covering loosely with aluminium foil after 30 minutes when the cake starts to turn brown)

And finally, all of those bad experiences taught me something'. It searches through multiple social networking sites with multiple query options. If you make a bad first impression it's because you were doing
something inconsistent with whom you are as a person.

Thanks Bee. Of course you can replace it with orange and the sugar can also reduce to between 165-170g.
Thank you everyone and all your support :))
Have not seen grape fruit in cake till this. Guess i'll love it more than the grape fruit alone.
Congrats Ann! Indeed a wonderful honor to receive! Hope many more will come your way! 😉 BTW, love your butter cake! Is it alright I replace it with orange? Do I need to reduce the sugar a little since grapefruit is slightly more tart then orange. 😛

Congrats on being listed on the Culinary Hall of Fame! You totally deserve it! This grapefruit butter cake looks so soft and yummy! First time I have seen a cake using grapefruit…very unique!
Cheers to you!
I am still learning to appreciate grapefruit as I usually steer away from anything bitter. Having it in a butter cake seems to be good. I'm very scared of the bitterness.
Just me..
Big congrats to you, Ann! You are a great baker. ^^

Jane, I find this is just nice for me, not too strong and bitter. You can also refer to Jane's post.
