I adapted this recipe from one I found in a newspaper. The tangy combination of citrus fruits is welcome as a light dessert after a big meal of as a refreshing addition to a brunch. Friends and family rave about it. -Geri Barr of Calgary, Alberta

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large navel oranges
1 medium red grapefruit
1 medium white grapefruit
1 small lemon
1 small lime
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Grate enough peel from the oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime to measure 1 tablespoon of mixed citrus peel; set peel aside. To section citrus fruit, cut a thin slice off the bottom and top of the oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime. Place each fruit cut side down on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith. Holding fruit over a bowl, slice between the membrane of each section and the fruit until the knife reaches the center; remove sections and place in a glass bowl. Set 1/2 cup juice aside., In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and reserved peel and juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Cool; stir in extract. Pour over fruit. Refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle with almonds.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and the cake didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

The cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the glaze helped to add some moisture. The citrus flavor was nice, but I think I would have preferred a stronger almond flavor.
