Ingredients
The bread:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated pink grapefruit zest
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup 2% milk
- 3 teaspoons fresh pink grapefruit juice
The Glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered confectioner's sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons fresh pink grapefruit juice
- ½ teaspoon grated pink grapefruit zest
- Pinch salt
Instructions
The Bread:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 8½- by 4½-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, using a hand mixer) set on a medium speed, beat together butter, sugar and grapefruit zest until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition.
- Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture, milk and grapefruit juice. Beat until just combined. Take care not to overbeat or the bread will be tough. Pour the batter into prepared pan and level with a spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside and turn the pan upside down to release the bread. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then glaze.
