In Cooking Tree, Grapefruit Cake is on the menu, and we’ll show you how to make it from scratch.

I made a cake with lots of fresh grapefruit.
You have to peel the grapefruit, but it’s much easier if you do it like in the video.

I used a fruit cutter on the top of the cake to make it fluffy.
I had a large grapefruit, so the cake came out very high.

I think you should use a smaller grapefruit for a more stable shape.
If you put a big fruit on the cake, you will have a lot of cream in it~.

I don’t make grapefruit cakes very often because grapefruit is difficult to handle.
but when I make it and take a bite, I think the fresh and tangy aroma is very attractive^^.

Enjoy watching~♬~

Ingredients

Cake sheet

200g Egg
125g Sugar
4g Vanilla extract
35g Unsalted butter
40g Milk
125g Cake flour

Grapefruit
450g Whipping cream
15g Sugar
90g Condensed milk
50g Whipped whipping cream (+5g sugar)

Instructions

Cake sheet

Place the bowl with the eggs over a saucepan of simmering water.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract, stirring constantly, and bring the temperature up to about 40 degrees.
Remove the bowl and place the bowl containing the butter and milk over a saucepan over medium heat to melt.
Whisk the egg wash until it forms dense, stiff peaks and clears the air pockets for a minute or two on low speed.
Sift the beaten eggs into a bowl and mix to combine, then whisk a little of the batter into the bowl with the butter and milk.
Add it all to this batter and mix evenly.
Pour into an oven pan and bake in a 175 degree oven for about 37 minutes.
Cut a thin slice off the bottom and cut into three 1.5 cm high slices to cut into 15 cm square mousse molds.

Prepare the grapefruit

Blanch the grapefruit in a pan of boiling water for 2 to 2½ minutes, rolling it around to get even coverage.
Place in an ice water bath to cool.
Run a knife crosswise across the top and peel off the rind.
Remove the flesh and cut off the thin side with scissors, and cut off the ends with scissors as well.
Carefully peel off the skin.
Line a cake tin with the cake sheets, squeeze in the cream, and top with the grapefruit pulp.
Repeat the stacks, brush the tops with cream, and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
Decorate the top with grapefruit and fresh cream.
