The Brown Derby's Grapefruit Cake Recipe
May 10, 2012 2:18 PM
The grapefruit cake is one of those unlikely recipes that only needs one bite to sell a person on it completely.
The Brown Derby was one of early Hollywood's legendary hotspots, but unlike the others, this one actually served excellent food.
From the opening of the first Brown Derby (the famous hat building) on Wilshire Boulevard in 1926, it was a decidedly Hollywood establishment.
The Kentucky Derby doesn't reach the same level of holiday-ness in L.A. as it does in the southeast U.S., but it's still a good excuse for a gathering.
A favorite from Casa Vega, a star-studded neighborhood joint.
This recipe is simple and it tastes good, making it perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations this weekend.
