  "ingredients": [
    "1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour",
    "1 teaspoon baking powder",
    "1/4 teaspoon salt",
    "1/2 cup butter, softened",
    "1 cup sugar",
    "2 eggs, room temperature",

  "directions": [
    "Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan. Scrub the grapefruit under running water, dry, then zest and juice it.",
    "Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.",
    "Beat the butter, sugar, and grapefruit zest on medium speed 3 to 4 minutes until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.",
    "Stir the 1/3 cup grapefruit juice into the sour cream. On low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the sour cream mixture, mixing just until smooth.",
    "Scrape into the pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean, or the center reads about 200°F (well above 160°F).",
    "Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out and cool on a rack at least 20 minutes more (cooling time is included in the cook time).",
    "Whisk the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice until thick but pourable. Spoon over the cake and let it set 10 minutes before slicing into 8 slices."

  "food_safety": "Scrub grapefruit under running water before zesting or cutting. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean so the eggs are fully cooked, and do not taste raw batter. Cover leftovers within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F).",
