Ace’s Ruby Red Grapefruit and Orange Cake by Melissa Winner,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.,A bit of effort involved, but so worth it! I made this exactly as posted. It was a little time-consuming, though, between zesting and juicing. Even though I sprayed my tube pan liberally with Baker’s Joy, it stuck a little bit when removing from the pan. The cake is incredibly moist and spongy, and the glaze takes it over the top. I probably ended up adding 1/2 cup or so of grapefruit juice to the glaze to get it to a pouring consistency. This is a real keeper! Made for Culinary Quest 2014.
