- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 250 g Self raising flour

- 125 g California Walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C fan.
- In a bowl cream together the sugar, butter and vanilla extract until lighter in colour and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each one until fully combined before you add the next one.
- Zest the 2 Florida Grapefruit and add to the mixture. Juice the grapefruits into a pan for later.
- Sieve in self raising flour to the butter, sugar and egg mixture and fold in gently, careful not to knock any air out.

- Brush with the remaining syrup and serve once cooled.
