Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 large eggs
½ cup fresh grapefruit juice (from about 2 grapefruits)
Zest from 2 grapefruits
⅓ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the yogurt, eggs, grapefruit juice, zest, and oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture; stir gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap it lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
