Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
½ cup of unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 large eggs
¼ cup of fresh grapefruit juice
½ tablespoon of grapefruit zest
1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
½ cup of buttermilk
Orange zest (optional, for flavor)
Chopped nuts (optional, for texture)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the grapefruit juice and zest to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk.
Gently fold in the poppy seeds.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
A bright, zesty cake that combines the tartness of pink grapefruit with the delightful crunch of poppy seeds, creating a perfect treat for any occasion.
