Preheat the oven to 350u00b0.", "In a medium bowl, beat together with an electric mixer the butter, sugar and grapefruit zest. Beat this mixture for 3-5 minutes, until it becomes fluffy and pale yellow. Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Next, add the baking powder, salt and half of the flour. Mix to combine, and then add the buttermilk.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
