chocolate grapefruit cake? well. that sounds interesting.
Candied grapefruit peel. Almond meal. Chopped hazelnuts. Melted milk chocolate and a couple of eggs. Very simple. Exquisite. it was a huge hit with all the people who said with a blank look and a pause, “Interesting,” before they took a polite nibble. Except for a couple young boys with uneducated palates.
The best wheat-free cake I have ever made, and one of my top cakes of all time. Someone has to make it for my birthday.
