Grapefruit Pound Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt & 1/8 tsp. salt (seperated)
1 2/3 cups sugar
6 Tbs. butter, softened
6 oz. cream cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
2 Tbsp. grated grapefruit rind
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 10" tube pan with baking spray. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt. Mix well. In another bowl place sugar, butter and cream cheese. Beat with a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat in oil, rind and vanilla. Add 1/2 flour and 1/2 milk to batter and mix well. Add remaining flour and milk and mix. Spoon into tube pan. Bake 1 hr. 10 minutes. or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cook in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Invert and continue to cool on rack.
Place juice in a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to about 3 Tbsp. (about 4 minutes). Cool slightly. Whisk in powdered sugar and remaining 1/8 tsp. salt. Drizzle over cake.
Comments: This recipe was posted on Pinterest by way of My Recipes. The only changes I made was to include some of the pulp from the grapefruit. Its a moist cake, not super sweet with you picking up a taste of the grapefruit through the pulp and/or some of the rind. I really liked this unusual combination.
