The Joy of Eating - Grapefruit & Lime Cake by She Wears Many Hats

If you haven't already, you should stop over at Amy's site, She Wears Many Hats, and check things out. Especially check out the recipe section! Pretty much every recipe she posts is right up my alley, so I always like to see what she's cooking up.

I decided to make her Grapefruit & Lime Cake with Citrus Glaze today. I'd been eyeballing it for awhile now, and finally had a grapefruit in my possession to use. However, since I've been somewhat trying to stay away from refined flour and sugar, I knew I was taking a risk. The photo above shows the initial damage I have done, in one foul swoop, to the cake, my resolve to stay away from refined flour and sugar, and my waistline.

However, I thought the above photo really didn't do this delicious cake justice, so I exercised ultimate self-control and cut a piece out of the middle to take a picture of.

I didn't eat it.

I put it back where it came from when I was done photographing.

I'm a pillar of strength.

I may have fallen off the wagon momentarily, but that doesn't mean I have to let it run me over too, right?

Voila! Here it is! I don't think this picture does it justice either, so you'll just have to take my word for it. If you like zesty citrus flavor and moist, fluffy cake, I would highly recommend it. There is a citrus glaze that has been poured over the top, but it has soaked in so it's hard to see. But it's there. And it's simple and delicious. I think it is the perfect topping for this cake.

Thanks to Amy for sharing this tasty recipe!
