     3    Whole grapefruit, 1 pink, 1
          - red, and 1 white, peeled,
          - sliced 1/4" across
          +=PLUS=+
     2 tb Zest
          +=AND=+
     3 tb Juice
 1 1/2 c  Granulated sugar
 2 2/3 c  Flour
     1 ts Kosher salt
   1/2 ts Baking soda
 1 1/2 c  Unsalted butter; softened
     3 lg Eggs
     1 c  Buttermilk
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     1 c  Confectioners' sugar;

 Heat oven broiler. Arrange grapefruit slices in an even
 layer on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet fitted with
 a wire rack; sprinkle with 3 tbsp. sugar. Broil,
 rotating pan as needed, until slightly caramelized,
 about 7 minutes; set aside.

 Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

 Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
 In another bowl, and using an electric hand mixer, cream
 remaining sugar and the butter until fluffy. Add eggs
 one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
 zest, buttermilk, and vanilla; mix until combined. With
 the motor running, slowly add dry ingredients until
 smooth. Spread batter evenly into a 9" × 13" baking
 dish; bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of
 the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cake
 cool, then arrange reserved grapefruit slices,
 overlapping slightly, on top.

 Whisk juice and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until
 smooth; drizzle evenly over cake. Let cake sit 30
 minutes to set glaze before serving.

 Yield: serves 10-12
