6. Alternate dry and wet ingredients. Add flour mixture and yogurt mixture ingredients alternately in 3 additions to butter-sugar-egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, until uniformly incorporated- do not overmix. Scrape down bowl as needed.

Alternate

7. Prepare pan and bake. Grease and flour one bundt cake pan. I like to use either shortening, or baking spray made with flour. Spoon batter into pan. Bake on a middle rack, for approximately 50-55 minutes until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting out onto a wire rack to continue cooling. If the cake doesn't release right away, use a knife or spatula and run it carefully around the sides and center to help release the cake, and then try inverting again. Cool completely before glazing.

8. Make the glaze. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed. Pour over top of cake and serve. For a thicker glaze use less grapefruit juice.
