    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?

      I'm with Shannon, I've been seriously craving citrus too. This really looks delicious! And that cat video was hilarious. My favorite was when he started popping him in the face. The dialog was perfect:)

      That sounds delicious. I would never have thought to flavor a pound cake with grapefruit, but it's one of my favorite flavors. Yum!
