Ace's Ruby Red Grapefruit and Orange Cake by Melissa Winner image

Entered for safe-keeping. From Melissa Winner, Gulfport, MS, as entered in Cuisinart Stand Mixer competition, and later entered on Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown as Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake. I prefer a glaze such as this on my Bundt cakes, so no refrigeration is needed, although Paula Deen likes a cream cheese frosting on hers (see Recipe #324804). This can also be made as two 9-inch layers, which would work better with the cream cheese frosting. Ms. Winner recommends serving with dreamsicle ice cream and a sprig of mint.

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Baker's Joy (or use Recipe #78579 #78579) or nonstick baking spray with flour, as needed (or use Pan Release, Professional Pan Coating (Better Than Pam Spray!) #78579)
2 1/2 cups flour, sifted
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1 banana, smashed
1/2 cup ruby red grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
12 ounces sour cream
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon grapefruit zest
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon grapefruit zest
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

Steps:

  • PREPARE BUNDT CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan with nonstick baking spray with flour like Baker's Joy, or use Recipe #78579.
  • Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Then put mixture into a stand mixer add eggs, and mix until combined.
  • Then add oil; mix until blended.
  • Next add grapefruit juice, orange juice, and banana, and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Add sour cream and zests; just mix until combined and smooth.
  • Put cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • When done turn pan onto serving platter let stand about 15 minutes then poke small holes in top. I use a straw; be neat about it.
  • PREPARE GLAZE:.
  • Mix juice and sugar until combined. If it is too thick add more juice a tablespoon at a time.
  • Stir in zest and pecans.
  • Pour glaze on partially cooled cake.
  • Let cool about 1 hour and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a little too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use fresh or frozen grapefruit and oranges.

I'm not usually a fan of grapefruit, but this cake changed my mind. The orange flavor really balances out the grapefruit and makes it delicious.
