Am not a big fan of grapefruits, but my better half adore the grapefruits and he never stopped buying them...I tried out making this cake using grapefruit yesterday for our snacks, for my surprise the addition of grapefruit turned out the cake more flavourful and prefect,i used olive oil and completely skipped butter in this cake...Its a super moist, fluffy, sweet and fabulous cake which suits marvellously for a evening snacks or simply as a dessert...Soak this cake once they comes out of the oven with a simple grapefruit syrup with grapefruit juice and sugar, this cake tastes superb with a fantabulous texture and we loved a lot...Needless to say that this cake gets vanished in less time, i was planning to make some muffins soon with grapefruits..

Priya-This is an amazing cake...can't get over the fact that it has no eggs, and it's so moist, and flavorful. Must be the yoghurt that replaces the eggs:DDD
