Grapefruit Cake

Recipe By :WDW Hollywood Brown Derby
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cakes Disney


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Cake
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
3 large eggs -- separated
3 tablespoons grapefruit juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Frosting
16 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
4 drops yellow food coloring
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups grapefruit segments (from Ruby Reds)
candy confetti -- garnish

Oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2--8" round cake pans.
Cake: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in center. Put oil, water, egg yolks, grapefruit juice and lemon peel in well.
Stir liquid to mix, then stir with flour mixture until blended and smooth.
Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with mixer on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat just until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted.
Using a rubber spatula, stir 1/3 of the beaten whites into batter, then gently fold in remaining whites just until blended.
Divide between pans, smoothing surface.
Bake 20 minutes or until cakes spring back when lightly touched in center. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of cakes. Invert on racks to cool completely.
Frosting: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Add lemon juice, lemon peel and food coloring.
With mixer on low speed, gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating well until blended. (Frosting will be soft and airy.)
Finely chop enough grapefruit segments to measure 2 tablespoons. Gently stir into frosting.
To assemble: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread top with 1/2 cup frosting. Cut enough grapefruit segments into thinner wedges to cover frosting. Top with second cake layer. Frost top and sides.
To serve: Garnish with remaining grapefruit segments and candy confetti.

If you would like a pre-printed recipe card in the shape of a brown derby, you can either e-mail the Hollywood Brown Derby to request or make the request while you are dinning in the restaurant. They will also give you the recipe for the Cobb Salad. Most of the other recipes are not available; my wife wanted the recipe for their Atlantic Salmon Bruchet (sp?), but they wouldn't share it...they said it was copywrited and propietary info.
