Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into bowl. Make well in

Turn batter into ungreased 9 inch spring form pan and bake at 350 degrees
30 minutes, or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
Invert onto cake rack and cool thoroughly. Loosen edges of cake carefully

layers. Reserve a few fruit sections for frosting. Fill with part of the
Cream Cheese Frosting and grapefruit sections. Spread top and sides of cake
with frosting and decorate with additional fruit sections.

Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add lemon
juice and peel. Gradually blend in sugar and beat until well blended. Stir
in food color. Crush enough grapefruit sections to measure 2 teaspoons and
blend into frosting.
