Ingredients

Mini bundt Cakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting pans
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (8 tbsp / 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 medium grapefruit (preference for Rio or Red Grapefruit for colouring), with zest and juice separated
  • 2 tbsp poppyseeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole is preferred)

Icing:

  • 1 cup icing (confectioners) sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh squeeze grapefruit juice

Instructions

Mini bundt Cakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. 

  2. Spray 4-8 mini bundt pans or one regular bundt pan with non-stick spray or butter. Dust with flour and shake out excess (try to get into all crevices of the pans).

  3. In a stand or electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until soft and light. Grate in the zest of the grapefruit and beat until blended.

  4. Add in eggs one at a time. Slowing down the mixer add in baking soda, baking powder, poppyseeds, and flour.

  5. Add in juice from 1/2 grapefruit and milk, and mix until blended.

  6. Pour batter 1/2 full into cake pans and place on a baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 18-25 minutes (for mini bundts and 45-50 minutes for regular bundts) until cakes are cooked through (test with a cake tester, toothpick, or knife and if it comes out clean it's done).

  8. Let cool for 15 minutes and turn out cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely. (If the cakes are well greased and fully cooked they should turn out no problem).

Icing:

  1. Combine icing sugar and 1 tbsp of grapefruit juice. If it's still too thick to drizzle add another tbsp of juice.

    Drizzle icing over cooled cakes and serve.
