How to Make Disney Grapefruit Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add water, vegetable oil, eggs, grapefruit juice, and lemon zest to the well.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.
- Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into two layers.
- For the frosting: Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add lemon juice and lemon zest, then gradually add powdered sugar, beating until well combined.
- Stir in pink food coloring until desired shade is reached.
- Add 2 tablespoons of reserved grapefruit juice and blend until smooth.
- Divide the frosting in half. Fold roughly chopped grapefruit sections into one half of the frosting.
- Spread the grapefruit frosting onto the bottom cake layer.
- Top with several reserved grapefruit sections.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Garnish with remaining grapefruit sections.
