Hollywood Brown Derby's Grapefruit Cake & Frosting Recipe

Grapefruit cake with cream cheese frosting is a unique and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This cake features a delicate and moist crumb, with a tangy grapefruit flavor that is complemented by the rich and creamy cream cheese frosting. The recipe is easy to follow and uses simple ingredients, making it a great option for any home cook who wants to try their hand at baking something new and exciting. Whether served for a special occasion or enjoyed as an afternoon treat, grapefruit cake with cream cheese frosting is sure to impress your taste buds. In this context, we can explore the origins and cultural significance of grapefruit, and how it has been used in desserts and baked goods. We can also discuss the importance of using high-quality ingredients, such as fresh grapefruit juice and organic cream cheese, to create a delicious and wholesome dessert. Finally, we can highlight the versatility of this cake and how it can be customized to suit different preferences by adding additional flavors or decorations. I’ve been dancing around doing this recipe for a long time… While I’m a big fan of cakes, I really don’t make them all that often. They always seem like a major commitment in time and I have this abnormal fear of messing them up. More Delicious Recipes You Will Love: - Ginger Sauce – Teppan Edo - Guinness Stew – Rose And Crown Pub And Dining Room - Kase Spatzle Recipes – Biergarten Restaurant Plus, I don’t have the patience to wait until they’re cooled all the way before frosting them. I know this all sounds utterly ridiculous, but it’s true. But this cake… Something about this cake sounded so, so good. I know it has a huge, devoted following of people who swear this is the greatest cake at Disney. And researching this cake was actually pretty fun. It’s been on the menu forever, and it’s gone through numerous updates and changes, so it was neat to see how it’s evolved over the years. I was pretty excited to give this recipe a try. The downside to a cake that has such a long history is that it has numerous recipe variations (all of which are official), and a lot of them suffer from being scaled from Disney’s massive batches to a single batch for the home chef. The recipe I used is the most recent available and it came out flawlessly in terms of taste, but unfortunately, in order to get 4 layers (like they serve now), it really needs to be doubled. The recipe as-is (and the way I’m sharing it), is only enough for two, maybe three very, very thin layers.  While this is almost exactly like it used to be served, now it’s served with 4 layers. I have to say, for somebody who doesn’t make cakes, I’m pretty proud of how this turned out. It’s so light, fluffy, and fresh tasting, really unlike any cake I’ve ever had. It’s spring on a fork.  I did use pink grapefruit because, for some strange reason, I couldn’t find white anywhere… But I love, love, love the color contrast that the pink grapefruit gives, and I know it’s not unheard of for it to be served using pink grapefruit at the Brown Derby. The cream cheese goes brilliantly with the airy cake and the sweet grapefruit, and it’s deliciously creamy, without being gooey. I’m not sure why, but I was so terrified this would fall apart when I sliced it, but it held together brilliantly. All the little elements of it just meshed together beautifully. Had I to do over again, I’d probably keep the pink grapefruit, but I’d double the recipe (including frosting) and divide it evenly between two pans (or cook this recipe twice) so I’d be able to get those extra layers, and use way more grapefruit. I was also reminded of how much I hate to frost cakes. I had way better luck frosting the inside and then frosting the sides and tops after I had my layers assembled. Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but hey… It’s what I did. And, for the record, I didn’t use the food coloring. I can completely see why this dessert has stood the test of time and survived several updates to the Brown Derby menu.  It’s exotic and clean-tasting, relatively easy to make (though it is time consuming), and it looks really dramatic when sliced and garnished with the pink grapefruit. This for sure is going into the recipe file I crack out when I want to impress people with my cooking awesomeness. ~~~~  °o°  ~~~~ In addition to the delicious food and recipes, Disney World is also known for its unique dining experiences, such as character dining and themed restaurants. Whether you want to have breakfast with Mickey Mouse, dine in a replica of a sci-fi drive-in theater at Hollywood Studios, or enjoy a meal with an ocean view at the Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot, there's something for everyone.
