Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 large eggs |
1 tablespoon grated grapefruit rind |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime rind |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 (6-ounce) container plain low-fat yogurt |
5.6 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups) |
1.5 ounces fine yellow cornmeal (about 1/4 cup) |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
2 large red grapefruit |
4 large oranges |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
3 tablespoons honey |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. To prepare cake, place sugar and oil in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed for 2 minutes or until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add rinds, vanilla, and yogurt; beat until combined.
3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour and cornmeal into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk. Add flour mixture to oil mixture; stir with a whisk just until combined. Pour batter into a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 30 minutes or until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove sides from pan. Cool cake completely on rack.
4. To prepare compote, peel and section grapefruit and oranges over a medium bowl, reserving juices; place sections in another bowl. Combine reserved juices and lime juice in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in honey and allspice; reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until syrupy. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Pour over fruit sections; toss gently. Chill. Serve compote over cake.
