Grapefruit and Pomegranate Iced Traycake

This is a simple iced traycake. It is a sponge flavoured with grapefruit zest, drizzled with a mixture of grapefruit and pomegranate juice. It is iced with a grapfruit and pomegranate icing and decorated with pomegranate seeds.

The cake is light with a soft crumb and buttery taste. The flavour of the grapefruit is fresh and absolutely delicious. The pomegranate its subtle, but does give a wonderful pink colour to the icing. The seeds on top make it look delicate, elegant and gives a crunchy texture that contrasts the cake. I am very happy with how this turned out, and think it is a lovely take on the traditional lime or lemon traycake.
