Ingredients:

For the cake:​

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3 large eggs, room temperature

• 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 5 tablespoons grated grapefruit zest

• 1/4 cup agave nectar or honey

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup canola oil

For the glaze:

• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

• 2 to 3 teaspoons grapefruit juice

• Grapefruit wheels and fresh mint leaves, optional

• Fresh mint leaves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine next seven ingredients. Gradually stir flour mixture into yogurt mixture, then pour into a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool.

2. For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar with enough grapefruit juice to reach desired consistency; drizzle glaze over top, allowing some to flow over sides. Top cake with grapefruit and mint if desired.
