Recipe: Grapefruit Snack Cake
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9x9 inch pan with nonstick baking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a large bowl, stir together granulated sugar and grated grapefruit zest until combined. Add melted and cooled butter to the bowl and stir until smooth. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, followed by plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 30 to 32 minutes, or until the cake is set. Once cooled, drizzle the grapefruit glaze on top and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Grapefruit Glaze
To make the grapefruit glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh grapefruit juice until smooth and drizzle-able. If the glaze is too thick, add more grapefruit juice. If it's too thin, stir in more powdered sugar.
Stir in freshly grated grapefruit zest and pour the glaze over the cooled cake, spreading it to cover the top. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
