"My favorite 90s food trend has to be the halved grapefruit with bruled sugar on top. Id devour those shiny pink segments in their juicy, sugary glory. A little sweet, a little tart, and a little crunchythe coral-hued fruit played tug-of-war with my taste buds until I was desperately tipping the little half straight into my mouth hoping for just a touch more juice.

Hot on the tails of that memory, I wanted to make a cake that paid homage to my favorite winter citrus. The base here is a mix of gritty cornmeal and tender cake flour, which has the lowest protein content of baking flour at around 6 percent. This means the gluten wont really develop the same way it would in a bread or cookie, so the finishing crumb is super fluffy and tender. For flavorings, in comes tarragon: a stringy-leafed herb that is very licorice-forward similar to fennel (a common partner to grapefruit in many a wintry citrus salad). And lastly, a sprinkling of demerara sugara large, crunchy granulated sugar that has just a touch of molasseson the bottom of the cake pan yields that signature brule crunch to the nestled grapefruit slices."
