Grapefruit Cake

Just got home from a 75-minute yoga class that was made up of, like, fifty percent head stands (which I can't do, but I really tried). Now I'm eating cold pizza and Cherry Garcia. Because what is a human woman but a bundle of paradoxes waiting to be untangled?

Danny's out of town for the weekend, so... not only am I eating pizza and Cherry Garcia, but I'm eating them in my bed, with my dogs, while lying on Danny's fancy, incredible pillow which I lahooove. This pillow is MAGIC and its mine for four nights. It makes the missing Danny a little bit easier.

Speaking of the junk food that I eat after I exercise, I made this adorable little grapefruit bundt cake this weekend. I've been begging my family for bundt pans as a birthday or Christmas gift, but I hadn't got one yet because obviously bundt pans are the most boring gift to give (kind of why I didn't buy one for myself). My mom, though, who is an incredible person, mailed me a bundt cake pan stuffed with jelly beans and other goodies for Easter! Now i'm positive that all Easter baskets should be replaced with cake pans.

The cake is based off the Hollywood Grapefruit Cake that you can get at the Brown Derby in Disney World. You can read a little bit of fun history about the cake here. Be careful adding in other flavors to this cake because the grapefruit flavor is delicate and slight. Follow my recipe, though, and you'll be just fine. ;) Hope you like!
