- For the Cake: Sift together flour, sugar, baking pwdr and salt into bowl. Make well in center of dry ingredients and add in water, oil, egg yolks, grapefruit juice and lemon zest. Beat till very smooth.
- Beat egg whites in small bowl with cream of tartar till stiff but not dry. Gradually add in egg whites to batter and mix in gently till just blended. Don't stir.
- Turn batter into ungreased 9-inch springform pan and bake at 350 degrees till top of cake springs back when lightly touched, about 25 min.
- Cold in pan on rack 15 min. Loosen edges of cake carefully with knife and remove from pan.
- For the White Mountain Frosting: Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in small heavy saucepan. Insert candy thermometer and partly cover pan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Remove cover and boil without stirring till drop on tip of spoon will spin 6- to 8-inch thread or possibly thermometer registers 240 to 242 degrees.
