- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice freshly squeezed (1 oz.)
- 4 tablespoons silver tequila, OPTIONAL 2 oz.
- Zest of 1 grapefruit (~2 ½ tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions
Make the Paloma Citrus Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a large glass bowl, combine the coconut oil and sugar. Whisk together until combined.
- Measure in the eggs, breaking the yolks and whisk into the wet ingredients.
- Pour in the freshly squeezed grapefruit and lime juices. Add the tequila if adding the tequila. Sprinkle in the grapefruit and lime zest, then whisk until incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet: Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, and flip upside down immediately onto a cake plate so the cake can begin to release from the pan.
- When the cake releases from the pan, remove the pan, and let come to room temperature.
Make the Tequila-Lime Glaze
- In a glass bowl, measure in the powdered sugar, tequila, lime zest and salt.
- Whisk together until combined, and set aside until it’s time to glaze the cake.
Glaze the Cake
- When the cake is at room temperature, drizzle the glaze over it in whatever kind of pattern you like,
- Save a little glaze to decorate individual pieces of cake.
- Slice with a cake knife, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t drink alcohol, replace the tequila in the glaze with lime juice. If you don’t want to add tequila to the cake batter, replace it with the same amount of lime juice.
- Easy entertaining tip: Bake the cake a day early, and let to keep at room temperature. Drizzle on the glaze right before serving.
- How to store: Use a cake dome for optimal freshness. (If you don't have a dome, consider using a large bowl to place over the cake plate.) This cake will keep for 2-3 days after glazing.
