(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 c. butter, softened
1 2/3 c. sugar, divided
3 large eggs
3/4 c. (6 oz.) vanilla yogurt
2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
2 Tbsp. grated grapefruit peel
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. grapefruit juice
GLAZE:
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp. grapefruit juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degree.  In a large bowl, cream butte and 1 1/3 c. sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in yogurt, poppy seeds, grapefruit peel and vanilla.  In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

Transfer to a greased 9x5 loaf pan.  Bake 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1/4 c. grapefruit juice and remaining sugar.

Remove bread from oven.  Immediately poke holes in bread with a fork; slowly pour juice mixture over bread.  Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, mix the glaze ingredients; drizzle over bread.
