Grapefruit cake served where?

[Motomiker]

I can remember reading about a dessert called "grapefruit cake" being served at a WDW restaurant, but can't remember where! Anybody know?

Hollywood Brown Derby at DHS.

It's their trademark/signature dessert. Almost as famous as the Cobb salad

And this menu link states that Starring Rolls Cafe also sells it.

Was verified on the "do you like the grapefruit cake" thread by one person.

Sometimes the grapefruit cake will not be in the case at Starring Rolls. In that case I have asked for--and received--it...somebody was actually sent over to HBD to retrieve my piece! Gotta love it! Enjoy!

Very good to know. I know for me, the Brown Derby isn't worth a meal, b/c we're veggie, and a noodle bowl doesn't sound that exciting, nor does it sound like a good prelude to a grapefruit cake! So to have a different option to try this cake is good, and your post letting me know to ask even if it's not in the case is even better! Thanks!

Just want to comment on the noodle bowl. I'm not a vegetarian, and don't normally care for tofu, but I tried the noodle dish at Brown Derby and I thought it was very good.

my mom and I love the grapefruit cake and we even were able to get the recipe for it so we make it every once in a while just to get a taste of wdw!

Brown Derby is a great meal!
