Ingredients:


2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup oil

6 large eggs: separated

3 teaspoons grated grapefruit peel

2/3 cup grapefruit juice

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

--- glaze---

2 cups powdered sugar -- sifted

3 teaspoons grapefruit peel -- grated

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 tablespoons grapefruit juice
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a small mixer bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center; in order, add oil, egg yolks, peel and juice. Beat smooth with an electric mixer. Wash beaters, and in a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually pour flour mixture (it will be stiff) in a thin stream over surface, and fold in gently. Bake in a 10" ungreased tube pan for 55 minutes at 350~, or until when lightly touched with the finger, the cake springs back. Invert. Cool completely. Loosen edges, and remove to a cake plate. GLAZE: Mix all ingredients together, using enough grapefruit juice to make it spread easily, and drizzle down the sides when spread on top of the cake.
