I'm allergic to grapefruit. Is there anything I can substitute in the recipe?

I would love to try this cake, but I don't have a bundt pan. Do you think I could use a different type of pan?

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover grapefruit juice. It's also a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cake.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but this cake was surprisingly good. The flavor was light and not overpowering.

This cake was absolutely delicious! The grapefruit flavor was subtle and refreshing, and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
