We eat grapefruit for breakfast and in winter fruit salads—why not for dessert? Here's a sweet-tart cake that's easy, delicious and one of a kind. It's healthier too! —Maiah Miller, Montclair, Vermont

Can you freeze Grapefruit Yogurt Cake?

Omit glaze. Securely wrap cooled cake and freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature. Prepare glaze; top as directed.


Test Kitchen tips
  • It's like a cross between a pound cake and a sweet bread, so is it dessert or breakfast? You make the call!
  • Any citrus works well in this cake. If grapefruit isn't your thing, use lemon, orange or lime zest and juice.
  • Feel free to substitute melted coconut oil for the canola oil.

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine next 7 ingredients. Gradually stir flour mixture into yogurt mixture, then pour into a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool.
    2. For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar with enough grapefruit juice to reach desired consistency; drizzle glaze over top, allowing some to flow over sides. Top cake with grapefruit and mint if desired.
