GRAPEFRUIT LAYER CAKE
I grew up in Florida where we had 10 grapefruit trees and were constantly trying to use the fruit in different ways. This luscious cake was one of my "grapefruit experiments." A nice, bright citrus taste shines through in every moist bite. -Sara Pleso, Sparta, Tennessee

GRAPEFRUIT CRUMB CAKE
Tiny bursts of juicy, tart grapefruit mitigate the richness of this moist crumb cake, topped with almond and brown sugar. You can substitute oranges, tangerines or other tangy fruit for the grapefruit; you're looking for 1 1/2 cup fruit total. Just avoid anything too sweet (like blueberries, peaches and bing cherries). You need the acidity to balance out the sugary crumb topping. (If substituting other fruit, skip the sprinkling of salt.) If you don't have a springform pan, use a regular 10-inch cake pan that's at least 1 1/2-inches deep, then serve cake directly out of the pan instead of unmolding.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 10-inch springform pan.
- Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Stir in almonds and melted butter until 1/2-inch crumbs form. Store covered in the refrigerator. (You can make the crumb topping up to 5 days in advance.)
- Prepare grapefruit: Line a baking sheet or plate with a double layer of paper towels. Finely grate 1 tablespoon of zest from the grapefruit; set aside.
- Cut top and bottom off grapefruit with a sharp knife, then slice away peel so no white pith remains. Cut out the grapefruit segments by running your knife on the inside edges of each segment, leaving behind the white membranes. Place sections onto the paper-towel-lined pan or plate to dry out slightly. You should have about 1 1/2 cups grapefruit sections. Pull any large sections apart with your hands so they are all in 1-inch or smaller pieces.
- Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk sour cream, eggs, vanilla and reserved grapefruit zest. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Beat in the softened butter for 10 seconds, then beat in the sour cream mixture until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Spread grapefruit evenly across the top of the cake. Sprinkle the grapefruit very lightly with sea salt, then top with the crumb mixture.
- Bake until springy when touched, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, 50 to 65 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before releasing the sides of the pan and serving (at least 2 hours).

FRESH GRAPEFRUIT CAKE
This dessert's particularly good for a backyard barbecue. My husband enjoys it, and our 2-year-old son thinks we're having a picnic, whenever I serve it-even if we're not! In fact, it's the only way I can get him to eat grapefruit.

GRAPEFRUIT LAYER CAKE - SUGARHERO

5/5 (3)Total Time 3 hrs 35 minsServings 16Calories 893 per serving
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line four 8" pans with parchment paper. (If you have 8" pans with tall 3-inch sides, you can bake this in 2 pans and adjust the baking time, then split the layers after baking to get 4 layers.) Place the sugar and grapefruit zest in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Rub them together with your fingers until the sugar is moist and very fragrant. Add the room temperature butter and beat them together with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Make the curd at least 4 hours in advance. (The curd can be made up to a week in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to use.) In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and cold water and whisk together. Set aside to let the gelatin absorb the water while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the sugar is moistened. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat again on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You can add more juice or sugar, if desired, to get the consistency you want. Once the buttercream is light and fluffy, add a few drops of pink food coloring and one drop of orange, to make a nice grapefruit color.
- If any of your cakes have a strongly domed top, trip the tops so they're level. Place a cake on an 8" cardboard cake round. Fit a piping bag with a large round tip, and fill the bag with grapefruit buttercream. Pipe a thick line of buttercream all along the edge of the cake layer to form a "dam" and prevent the grapefruit curd from leaking out.
