Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and poppy seeds. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and fresh grapefruit juice until well blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined to form a smooth batter.
- Bake the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your grapefruit poppy seed cake as a refreshing dessert or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh grapefruit juice for the best flavor.
- You can add a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and grapefruit juice for extra sweetness and tang.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a denser cake, reduce the grapefruit juice slightly.
