Cooking instruction summary:
Start by heating your oven up to 350F.I used 3 small 4" pans because I was sending out 3 small testers to 3 different people but you can use a 8" spring pan as well :).With coconut oil, grease the pan and put parchment paper at the bottom.In a small saucepan, heat up honey and water until honey has dissolved in the water. Then add half of the two zests and 2 tbsp of grapefruit juice and 2tbsp of orange juice (with pulps!). Mix well, turn off heat and set aside.In a big bowl, mix maple sugar, yogurt, rest of zests, juices, olive oil and eggs until well combined.In another bowl, mix flours, starches, baking powder, spices and salt. Once well combined, make a well in the middle and slowly whisk the yogurt mixture in (keeping the honey mix for later!) until you have a uniform batter.Pour batter in your spring pan and sprinkle with shaved/sliced nuts.Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs on it, about 40-50 minutes.Using a toothpick, pokes a bunch of holes on your cake and slowly drizzle your honey syrup on the cake.
