This cake is light and airy with a luscious texture. I fell a little more in love with it with every bite.

Not an overly sweet cake, I would serve this with coffee at breakfast or brunch probably because that’s the time in which I associate grapefruit flavors.

I’ve been testing every kind of Pound Cake that you can think of. I’ve made Pumpkin Pound Cake, Pecan Pie Pound Cake, Lemon Pound Cake, Million Dollar Pound Cake, Old Fashioned Blue Ribbon Pound Cake, and Whipping Cream Pound Cake to name a few. (You can see the entire list here or at the end of this post.)

Ruby Red Grapefruit Pound Cake

For a successful pound cake, there are a few very important things to remember.

  1. Measuring flour is of utmost importance. Please read this post on how to correctly measure flour.
  2. It takes a little patience to make. Don’t rush the mixing process.
  3. Also, add the eggs one at a time. The standard size egg is large unless otherwise specified in the recipe. You may want to refer to this chart if you have another size of an egg.
  4. Finally, allow the cake to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a platter.
  5. Use good ingredients. Always use real butter when making a pound cake. Margarine will not have the same result. Purchase the best flour, vanilla, etc that you can afford. It really does make a difference with such simple ingredients.
  6. This cake freezes well. Freeze in an airtight container up to 3 months. Thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight or on the countertop at room temperature a few hours.
