Grapefruit Yogurt Cake
Grapefruits have never appealed to me in the way that lemons have. They’re a mix of tart and sweet that I never got used to and although many people eat them for breakfast, I just can’t seem to like them enough. But when grapefruit is used in cake, it takes on a whole new form.…
