Reviews
This was quite good. I used the zest of one large grapefruit plus the zest of one orange. The grapefruit flavor really just came from the glaze and topping. I baked for a little longer than 30min and the outside was a little overdone even though the toothpick never came out clean so it didn't bake evenly. It might be because I used a glass pie plate instead of a cake pan. I'll definitely make this again since it's a tasty low calorie dessert. It doesn't give 12 servings unless you only want 2 bites (9inch one-layer, of course that's 8 servings).
