    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Citrus
    Yield: 11 Servings

    3 Whole grapefruit, 1 pink, 1
    - red, and 1 white, peeled,
    - sliced 1/4" across
    +=PLUS=+
    2 tb Zest
    +=AND=+
    3 tb Juice
    1 1/2 c Granulated sugar
    2 2/3 c Flour
    1 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1 1/2 c Unsalted butter; softened
    3 lg Eggs
    1 c Buttermilk
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 c Confectioners’ sugar;
    - sifted

    Heat oven broiler. Arrange grapefruit slices in an even
    layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet fitted with
    a wire rack; sprinkle with 3 tbsp. sugar. Broil,
    rotating pan as needed, until slightly caramelized,
    about 7 minutes; set aside.

    Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

    Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
    In another bowl, and using an electric hand mixer, cream
    remaining sugar and the butter until fluffy. Add eggs
    one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
    zest, buttermilk, and vanilla; mix until combined. With
    the motor running, slowly add dry ingredients until
    smooth. Spread batter evenly into a 9" × 13" baking
    dish; bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of
    the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cake
    cool, then arrange reserved grapefruit slices,
    overlapping slightly, on top.

    Whisk juice and confectioners’ sugar in a bowl until
    smooth; drizzle evenly over cake. Let cake sit 30
    minutes to set glaze before serving.

    Yield: serves 10-12
