Instructions
- Zest both grapefruits, then juice one. Cut a piece off the top and bottom ends of the other grapefruit. Place a flat end on a cutting board, then cut the peel away from the flesh, working top to bottom and turning grapefruit as you go. When peeled completely, slip a paring knife along each side of the "membranes" (the white lines) of each grapefruit slice to release the segments into a small bowl.
- Combine 2/3 cup milk and 4 tbsp butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, 2-3 min. Remove the pot from heat.
- Meanwhile, sift flour, 2 tbsp icing sugar, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt into a medium bowl, then whisk to combine.
- Combine 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp grapefruit zest and 3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp white sugar in a large bowl, then beat using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until combined, 1 min. Increase speed to high and beat until sugar mixture is pale, thick and tripled in volume, 4-5 min. Add 2 tbsp grapefruit juice and warm milk mixture, then beat until just incorporated.
- Add flour mixture and beat on low until combined and smooth, 1 min.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-30 min, until lightly golden-brown and cake springs back when gently poked in the middle.
- Combine remaining sugar and 2 tsp grapefruit zest in a small pot. Rub mixture together using your fingertips until fragrant.
- Add remaining egg and 3 tbsp grapefruit juice to the pot, then whisk until smooth. Add 2 tbsp butter.
- Heat pot over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 5-7 min.
- Immediately remove the pot from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer into another small bowl.
- Cover with a piece of plastic wrap directly in contact with the surface of the curd, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Transfer cake pan to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before running a sharp knife around the edges of the pan, inverting and continuing to cool on the wire rack.
- While the cake cools, add cream to a large bowl and beat using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Place cooled cake on a serving platter or board then top with whipped cream.
- Dollop teaspoons of grapefruit curd over cream, then gently swirl through using a knife.
- Top cake with grapefruit segments.
- Cut into slices as desired.
