Yum. This cake would be the perfect pairing with some afternoon tea. The cake itself is soft and spongy with a delicously crispy crust. The glaze is perfectly tart and sweet, cute and pink with perfect speckles of poppy seeds. Even if you don't like grapefruit... chances are you'll still like this. Winter is citrus season, so get off your bum and let's make this bundt cake together...
You'll need 6 eggs, 1 grapefruit, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Picture
Picture
First thing's first. Separate your eggs. Yolks in one bowl, whites in another.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Beat the yolks until they're thick and creamy.
Picture
Zest your grapefruit.
Picture
And juice it. We will only need the juice from half.
Picture
Add in 2 T zest and 2 T juice to the yolks and beat again.
Picture
Then mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Picture
Picture
Put your egg whites in a mixer bowl and whisk on low until foamy. Be patient.
Picture
Picture
Once they're foamy, turn the speed up and slowly add your sugar 1 T at a time. 
Picture
Picture
And a pinch of salt.
Picture
After about 5 minutes you should have no sugar left and have stiff peaks when you take the whisk out.
Picture
Put a little bit of the fluffy whites into  the yolks. STIR VERY CAREFULLY. You do not want to knock the air out. 
Picture
Picture
Then pour the yolks over the whites.
Picture
Sift the flour over both.
Picture
And stir carefully until smooth. Remember: do not knock the air out. It's not hard, you just have to be patient.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Prep your bundt pan by melting 1-2 Tbsp butter and using a pastry brush to fully coat every nook and cranny.
Picture
Picture
Liberally dust powdered sugar over the butter.
Picture
Picture
Pour in the batter slowly.
Picture
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. Until there's no jiggle.
Picture
Picture
Turn it over and let it fall out.
Picture
Picture
While it cools let's make a glaze. 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 T poppy seeds, 2-3 T juice and as much zest as you want.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Whisk well.
Picture
Picture
Cover with glaze. Save any extras for dipping. The glaze really is the best part.
