Ingredients

  • 3 Florida Grapefruit
  • 4 eggs
  • 250g flour
  • 250g butter, softened
  • 125g white sugar
  • 125g brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grapefruit: peel and slice the Florida Grapefruit into thin circles.
  2. Extract the juice: take the remaining grapefruit peels and centres, squeeze out every drop of juice into a pan, and add the white and brown sugar.
  3. Create the caramel: bring the mixture to a boil, then add the grapefruit slices and let them bubble away for a couple of minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the grapefruit slices and caramel to the bottom of a round cake tin, arranging them in a single layer.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully mixed in before adding the next.
  7. Gently fold in the flour, keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.
  8. Pour the cake batter over the caramelised Florida Grapefruit in the cake tin, spreading it out evenly.
  9. Preheat your oven to 340°F and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the sponge is golden and firm to the touch.
  10. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a serving plate.
