I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this cake turned out terrible. It was dry and flavorless. I won't be making this recipe again.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cake never cooked through. I ended up throwing it away.

The cake was a bit dry, but the glaze helped to make it more moist. Overall, it was a good cake, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less grapefruit juice in the batter.

I was a bit hesitant to try this cake because I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I'm so glad I did! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the grapefruit glaze was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The grapefruit flavor was subtle but definitely there. I would definitely make this again.
