Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray or butter, then dust it with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour in the grapefruit juice, zest, and vanilla extract; mix gently until combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and grapefruit juice for the glaze, then drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for fluffier texture. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake airy.
