This cake is too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this cake. The citrus flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover grapefruit. I always have a few extra grapefruits lying around, and this cake is the perfect way to use them up.

I've tried this cake with different citrus fruits, like oranges and lemons. They all work well, but grapefruit is definitely my favorite.
