Recipe: Grapefruit Yogurt Cake →
Ina Garten by way of Cassie. Tart and a little bitter from the grapefruit zest. I left out the glaze because it seemed too sweet and unnecessary—the cake stands alone perfectly. Most recommended after poached eggs with salsa and avocados, with arugula/blueberry/cashew/mustard vinaigrette salad. Note: make sure you have a proper zester and are not accidentally using a nutmeg grater.
