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

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 5 tablespoons grated grapefruit zest
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons grapefruit juice
  • Optional: Grapefruit wheels and fresh mint leaves

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.
