grapefruit glaze

  • Whisk together the sugar and juice until combined, smooth and drizzle-able. If it’s too thick, add more grapefruit juice 1 teaspoon at a time. If it ends up too thin, stir in more powdered sugar until it is thick enough. Stir in the zest. Pour the glaze over the cake and spread it to cover the top. Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving!
