If you haven't tried adding grapefruit to your bakes then you are seriously missing out! This citrus works perfectly, the same as lemons and oranges in delicious cakes and other bakes. 

These baked doughnuts are flavoured with grapefruit juice, as well as in the icing, resulting in a deliciously sweet and zesty dessert!
