Red Grapefruit Chiffon Cake

chiffon_grapefruit01
With homemade grapefruit jam on hand, I decided to use it to make a chiffon cake. Since I'm not a "jam" person, I was afraid I might keep it until it spoiled. Referencing from Kevin Chai's book, I modified the recipe a little. I was very happy the chiffon cake turns out well. The texture was just right and the taste was really red grapefruit!! I will probably use up my grapefruit jam making chiffon cakes!
