Equipment

  • 1 (9x5 in.) loaf pan (available online)

Ingredients
  

  • butter for greasing the pan
  • 2 organic grapefruits zested and juiced
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⅛ cups ground almonds
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • red food coloring (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter.
  • Wash the grapefruits with hot water, zest one grapefruit and juice both. Set the zest and juice aside separately.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until smooth.
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt, grapefruit zest, and half of the grapefruit juice.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of grapefruit juice until a smooth, thick glaze forms. If you'd so like, add a touch of red food coloring for a pink hue.
  • Spread the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing and serving.
