    grapefruit pound cake

    Grapefruits are so good right now! I have been eating at least one a day - sometimes two. This recipe is actually something I started thinking about over the summer, and I am happy I was so swamped I waited until now to get around to it.

    I made a loaf to bring to a party, and a small loaf for us to eat at home! I recently found the cutest mini loaf pans, and this was a great time to use one:

    Honestly, I did get a few looks at grapefruit cake, but even the skeptics loved it!


    grapefruit pound cake

    1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
    ⅓ cup cornmeal
    ¼ cup tapioca flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 sticks dairy free butter
    1 cup sugar
    4 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    ⅓ cup fresh grapefruit juice

    Combine flours and baking powder. Separately, cream earth balance + sugar. Add eggs + vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients. Add grapefruit juice until just incorporated.

    Pour into prepared loaf pans and bake @ 350 for 55 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes clean.

    I squeezed juice of one more grapefruit, added to about ⅓ cup powdered sugar and poured as a glaze over the top.


    Is anyone else having an insanely busy week?
