Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 16 regular-size (2 1/2-in. diam) muffin cups with paper or foil liners.

  2. Make Cupcakes: Stir flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in center; put oil, water, egg yolks, 3 Tbsp grapefruit juice and the grated peels in well. Whisk liquids to mix, then whisk with flour mixture just until blended and smooth.

  3. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with mixer on high speed until frothy. Add remaining 1 tsp grapefruit juice; beat just until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. With a rubber spatula, stir 1/3 the beaten egg whites into the cupcake batter, then gently fold in remaining whites just until blended. Spoon 1/4 cup into each lined cup.

  4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until tops are browned and a pick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes before removing to rack to cool completely.

  5. Make Frosting: Beat ingredients (except grapefruit segments) in a medium bowl with mixer on low speed just to blend. On high speed, beat until smooth and fluffy. Finely chop 1 grapefruit segment and stir into frosting. Spread on cupcakes.

  6. Drain remaining grapefruit segments well and place on cupcakes; garnish with mint.
