Zubereitung von Grapefruit Cake With Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the water, oil, grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, and egg yolks.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the icing: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the powdered sugar, grapefruit juice, and zest until well combined.
- Stir in the food coloring (if using).
- Crush several grapefruit segments to measure 2 teaspoons and blend into the frosting.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the frosting over the top.
- Arrange some grapefruit segments on top of the frosting.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Garnish with additional grapefruit segments.
