- 1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
- 2teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2teaspoon salt
- 1cup greek yogurt
- 1 1/3cups sugar, divided
- 3 eggs
- 2teaspoons grapefruit zest (1 grapefruit)
- 1/2teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, grapefruit zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it’s all well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, cook the ⅓ cup grapefruit juice and remaining ⅓ cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
- When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the grapefruit-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
- For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and grapefruit juice and drizzle over the cake.
