Grapefruit Cake

Delicious. I've never tasted anyting like it -- the cake has a clear, bright grapefruit flavor. It is sweet, but not too sweet. I have made this grapefruit cake several times, and all my friends are always impressed by it.

I have two comments on the recipe directions. First, the cake needs to bake for approx. 20 minutes longer than the 1 hour directed, so make sure to test it with a toothpick before removing it from the oven.

Also, let the cake cool completely in the pan after adding the grapefruit syrup -- adding the grapefruit sugar syrup moistens the cake and can make it difficult to remove from the pan while the cake is still hot.
