How
To Make Grapefruit Yogurt Cake :
Preheat
oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine next seven 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.
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.
Freeze
option: Omit glaze. Securely wrap cooled cake in plastic and foil; freeze. To
use, thaw at room temperature. Prepare glaze; top as directed.

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.
Feel
free to substitute melted coconut oil for the canola oil.
