Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 0.5 cups ruby red grapefruit juice
• 0.25 cups orange juice
• 1 tablespoon ruby red grapefruit zest
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons ruby red grapefruit juice (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9-inch bundt pan or round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the ruby red grapefruit juice, orange juice, grapefruit zest, and orange zest. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, ruby red grapefruit juice, and orange juice together in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Ruby Red Grapefruit and Orange Cake!
