I would never have picked this cake out of Melisa Clark's most recent cookbook, Dinner in France, if a fellow member of our cookbook club hadn't pointed it out. My spouse found a grapefruit and an orange in the fridge and made it. So goo, with a real grown up flavor, and a moist crumb that I love.
-
¼
cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, plus more for greasing the pan
-
2
cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
-
1 ⅔
cups/330 grams granulated sugar
-
1
teaspoon fine sea salt
-
1
teaspoon baking powder
-
½
teaspoon baking soda
-
⅔
cup/160 milliliters whole milk
-
⅔
cup/160 milliliters mild olive oil
-
3
large eggs
-
⅓
cup/80 milliliters Campari
-
1
tablespoon grated grapefruit zest
-
1
tablespoon grated orange zest
-
1
teaspoon grated lemon zest
-
¼
cup/60 milliliters fresh grapefruit juice
-
2
tablespoons fresh orange juice
-
1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
Whipped cream, sweetened or not as you like, for serving
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform
pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. (You can use a regular
9-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep, but the cake will be
harder to unmold.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt,
baking powder and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together butter,
milk, oil, eggs, Campari, citrus zests, and citrus juices. Fold in the
dry ingredients, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake until the top is golden and springs back when
lightly pressed in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (A cake tester
might emerge with a few crumbs, which is OK.)
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then run a
butter knife around the edges and release the sides. Serve with dollops
of whipped cream.
