1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

6 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Tips:

  • Use fresh grapefruit zest and juice for the best flavor. Choose grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender loaf of bread.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and that the bread rises evenly.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the bread from sinking in the center.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
