The bright and bitter citrus curd in this groove cake with shakes of whipped cream is made with a lot of grapefruit juice of the sweetest variety you can find and a bit of lime and lemon juice. Hannah Ziskin pastry chef of the quarterfinals sheets in Echo Park calls this cake “Heidi Torta Cake”, called by the neighbor whose trees have sweet and soft grapefruit.
Its Graham cookie cortex joins in minutes, and the filling is vibrant and creamy at the same time.
A small amount of citric acid and wheel acid is used to control the acidity of the filling without having to add more juice. These are available online and in specialized stores.
The lemon olive oil called Agrumato – “one of the mother oils” in the room leaves, made by pressing olives and fruit – is also available online and in specialized stores.
