Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°. Butter an 8” springform pan and set aside. Bring 1⁄3 cup sugar and the water to a boil in a 1-qt. saucepan; cook until sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes. Stir in half each orange and grapefruit zest, and 2 tbsp. each orange and grapefruit juices; set syrup aside.
Step 2
Whisk remaining sugar, zest and juices, plus yogurt, oil, and egg in a bowl until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk rice and almond flours, cornmeal, potato and tapioca starches, baking powder, mace, and salt until combined; make a well in the center. Whisk in yogurt mixture until a smooth batter forms. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 45-50 minutes. Using a toothpick, poke holes all over top of cake and drizzle with syrup. Let cool completely before serving.
