Citrus season is truly one of my favorites gifts of the season and grapefruit has to be my absolute favorite citrus of them all when they are at their peak ripeness.  I partnered with my friends at Winter Sweetz, to create a delicious way to use those perfectly ripe and beautiful grapefruits.  I created this glazed grapefruit bundt cake that is infused with not only grapefruit juice, but also the zest giving it the ultimate grapefruit flavor throughout each bite.  This glazed grapefruit bundt cake is not only a beauty, but is also equally as tasty to serve up too.

This cake is simply made by combining wet ingredients with dry ingredients and baking off in a traditional bundt pan. You can use a 9” or a 12” pan here, but the difference will be how high the cake rises and also the cook time can differ.  For reference, I used a 12” pan here and it works great with my directions.

I love the flavor of grapefruit that subtly is in the background of each bite that you take, keeping this cake light enough for a brunch or even a breakfast, but is also sweet enough to be served as a dessert.  The Winter Sweetz grapefruits are Texas Red Grapefruits and are just gorgeous when you slice them open.  They are perfectly sweet and make this bundt cake extra special.  They are at their peak ripeness from November to March, making them the ideal citrus to have on hand for recipes and snacking!

This glazed grapefruit bundt cake gets double the grapefruit flavor by not only using the zest and juice inside the cake, but also by using the juice in the glaze that goes on top.  This cake is truly one that you will want to make again and again.
