FOR THE CAKE:
2-1/2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
1-3/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
3 Eggs, Beaten
1 cup Vegetable Oil

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Spray two 9-inch found cake pans with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix together (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (oil, sour cream, grapefruit juice, and zest).
3
In a mixer, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
4
Divide the batter evenly into the pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until spongy but not overcooked. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before icing.
5
When constructing the cake, put a thin layer of whipped topping as well as a layer of thinly sliced grapefruit circles in between the 2 layers of cake. Use the remaining whipped topping to ice the cake on the tops and the sides.
6
To make the cake super pretty, top with grapefruit rind spirals.
