Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons finely shredded grapefruit peel
2 teaspoons finely shredded lime peel
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups butter, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 - 2 tablespoons orange juice
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Finely shredded grapefruit peel, lime peel, and/or orange peel (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine milk, the 2 teaspoons grapefruit peel, the 2 teaspoons lime peel, the 2 teaspoons orange peel, and the grapefruit juice. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl combine sugar and the 1 1/4 cups butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture to butter mixture, beating just until moistened after each addition.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan; cool completely on wire rack. (To serve today, omit Step 6 and continue as directed in Step 7.)
  • Wrap cooled cake in plastic wrap; overwrap tightly with foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • To serve, in a small bowl combine the 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice. Add powdered sugar; beat until smooth. If necessary, add enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cake. If desired, sprinkle with additional grated peel.
