Notes
- This cake was baked in a loaf pan measuring 8.5″ x 4.5″. If your loaf pan is a little bigger, you may need to reduce the bake time by a few minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick
- Make sure you zest the grapefruit first before you cut and juice it. Once juiced, it’s more difficult to zest the rind of a grapefruit.
