  1. Spray a large Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Next add grapefruit and orange juices, and banana and mix until smooth and creamy. Lastly add sour cream and zests; just mix until combined and smooth.
  3. Put cake batter into a 10-inch the prepared pan and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. When done turn pan onto serving platter let stand about 15 minutes then poke small holes in top. I use a straw; be neat about it. Pour Glaze Sauce on partially cooled cake. Let cool about 1 hour and serve. We like it with a scoop of dream sickle ice cream on the side and a sprig of mint.
  5. This could be a layer cake with cream cheese icing.
  6. Mix juice and sugar until combined. If it is too thick add more juice a tablespoon at a time. Stir in zest and pecans.;
