Description

This is a simple and refreshing yet decadent cake that can be adjusted to use with any citrus. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 2-½ cups White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1-¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3  Eggs, Beaten
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 8 ounces, fluid Low Fat Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Grapefruit Zest
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Low Fat Whipped Topping
  • ½  Grapefruit, Peeled And Thinly Sliced Into Rounds

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray two 9-inch found cake pans with vegetable oil or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix together (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (oil, sour cream, grapefruit juice, and zest).

In a mixer, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.

Divide the batter evenly into the pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until spongy but not overcooked. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before icing.

When constructing the cake, put a thin layer of whipped topping as well as a layer of thinly sliced grapefruit circles in between the 2 layers of cake. Use the remaining whipped topping to ice the cake on the tops and the sides.

To make the cake super pretty, top with grapefruit rind spirals.
