Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick baking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed Florida orange juice
1 banana, smashed
12 ounces sour cream
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon grapefruit zest
Glaze sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon grapefruit zest
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Spray a large Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then put mixture into a stand mixer add eggs, and mix until combined. Then add oil; mix until blended. Next add grapefruit and orange juices, and banana and mix until smooth and creamy. Lastly add sour cream and zests; just mix until combined and smooth.
  • Put cake batter into a 10-inch the prepared pan and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • When done turn pan onto serving platter let stand about 15 minutes then poke small holes in top. I use a straw; be neat about it. Pour Glaze Sauce on partially cooled cake. Let cool about 1 hour and serve. We like it with a scoop of dream sickle ice cream on the side and a sprig of mint.
  • This could be a layer cake with cream cheese icing.
  • Mix juice and sugar until combined. If it is too thick add more juice a tablespoon at a time. Stir in zest and pecans.

I found this cake to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
