Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons grated grapefruit zest
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup grapefruit juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two 9x5-in. loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat shortening and sugar until crumbly. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in walnuts and zest.
  3. Transfer to prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk glaze ingredients. Remove pans from oven; immediately brush with glaze. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
