Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan, preferably metal, with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides, and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
- Using your fingers, work grapefruit zest into granulated sugar in a large bowl until sugar starts to clump and mixture is very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and thick, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and mix in half of dry ingredients, then mix in 3/4 cup yogurt. Mix in remaining dry ingredients followed by 5 Tbsp. grapefruit juice and 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
- Bake cake until top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Poke holes in top of cake and brush remaining 3 Tbsp. grapefruit juice over top. Let sit 15 minutes, then run a knife around sides to loosen and use parchment paper to lift cake out of pan and onto rack. Remove parchment and let cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar, remaining 1 Tbsp. yogurt, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth and drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and let sit until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
- Do Ahead
- Loaf can be baked and glazed 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Steps:
- 1. Grease a 10 inch springform pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside. I like to use my bundt pan as it looks prettier but use what you like.If using a bundt pan grease well and flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour baking powder and salt to blend. In a large bowl beat eggs and sugar until eggs are thick and pale yellow. Add the yogurt, oil,1 tbsp of the grapefruit juice, the zest and vanilla. Stir well to blend. Add the flour mixture stir to combine. Pour in pan smoothing the top. Bake at 350 30 - 40 mins or until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Release the edges with a knife and than release pan sides.
- 2. TOPPING: Mix sugar (regular or powdered)and remaining grapefruit juice in a small saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce and simmer for 10 mins or until glaze is slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Pierce the cake and pour glaze over top. Note: It is nice if you're serving company to do a nice border with candied citrus strips to decorate plate.
