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?

Girl, I am dying over here to sink my teeth into this loaf! Please, tell me again why you do not bake for a living?
This looks so tasty and so healthy 🙂 Grapefruits are great for cellulite I just learned! Bring the grapefruits on!!

Never would have thought to add grapefruit to a pound cake! Looks like it would be yummy though. 🙂
Jessica @ Dairy Free Betty says
I think it sounds goood!! YUM!
I love that video Dave and I have watched it about 100 times!
Sarah @ Long Legs Healthy Life says
You're a lifesaver! I was just wondering what I could make with the 6 grapefruits I have at home! Do you have a substitution for the tapioca flour? That's the only thing I don't have in my pantry.
spabettie says
I've used brown rice flour in place of tapioca before - they are similar in consistency. You could probably use all purpose for the whole thing, also.
Evan Thomas says
Yes, please! This has just enough earth balance to make me happy 🙂
spabettie says
indeed!! my favorite part.

Ok, I was a bit skeptical when I saw the title but I do love both grapefruit and poundcake so why the hell not? Looks delish!
Let's not even start on how busy of a week it is for me. I am catching up from being off for two days plus have five more days off this month--oi!

That cake sounds refreshing, if that makes any sense. Imma file this in my spring recipes, lol. Is there a chocolate peppermint version floating around, lol.
Cats, ahhh. Tell Basil he's 100x cuter.
