Ingredients
For cake:
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons grapefruit zest about 1 grapefruit
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ¾ cups plain greek yogurt
- 8 tablespoons grapefruit juice divided
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
For glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons grapefruit juice more may be needed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add sugar and grapefruit zest. Work together with your fingers until the sugar is fragrant.
- To the sugar, add eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla bean paste. Mix for 4 minutes until thick and light in color.
- With the mixer on low, add half of the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Add in Greek yogurt and mix until it comes together.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients with 5 tablespoons of grapefruit juice and poppy seeds. Mix just until the batter comes together and is fully incorporated.
- Add batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Using a long toothpick poke holes into the cake and brush the remaining grapefruit juice over the cake.
- Let sit for 15 minutes, remove cake (by lifting up the parchment paper) out of the loaf pan and set on a cake rack. Carefully remove the parchment paper from the sides of the cake and let cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled drizzle the top with Greek yogurt glaze and a sprinkling of poppy seeds if desired.
For glaze:
- Whisk together all ingredients until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thick add more grapefruit juice if it's too thin add more powdered sugar.
