Grapefruit And Lime Cake With A Citrus Glaze
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 8 Tablespoons (4 0z.) Unsalted Butter
- 3/4 cups Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/2 cups (4 Oz.) Vanilla Yogurt
- 3 teaspoons Grapefruit Juice
- 2 teaspoons Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Grapefruit Zest (from About 1/2 Grapefruit)
- 2 teaspoons Lime Zest (from About 1 Lime)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/3 cups Milk
- _____
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 2 Tablespoons Grapefruit Juice, Strained
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice, Strained
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
- Instructions for Cake
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray. (I used an 8x4" pan, so if you use a different size, adjust cook time.)
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl or bowl of a mixer, beat butter until fluffy. Add brown sugar and combine well. Beat in eggs one at a time; continue to beat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add yogurt, juices, zests and vanilla and mix well. Make sure to scrape down sides of mixer every so often.
- Starting and ending with flour, alternate adding flour and milk to the creamed mixture. Mix well but don't overbeat - mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Put loaf pan on baking sheet and place in oven.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 minutes, turn pan 180u0b0 and continue to bake approximately 20 more minutes. Check for doneness with a cake tester, wooden skewer or toothpick. If needed, tent with aluminum foil if it starts to get too brown.
- If adding glaze (see glaze instructions below), poke holes with a skewer in top of cake while still in pan and warm. Pour glaze a little at a time over cake. Use a pastry brush to spread the glaze out evenly. Let glaze soak in before pouring more on cake.
- Remove cake carefully from pan. If you'd like, pour any remaining glaze over cake.
