This loaf took me on a ride y'all. I'm ready to accept that improvising should be left for the professionals lol I tried baking the loaf garnished with Citreve Freeze Dried Grapefruit, but they scorched. I ended up pivoting and making a glaze with the grapefruit instead which was fab and saved the battered loaf after I surgically removed the scorched slices lol In the end, it was delish and that's what truly matters lol

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350 F
In the meantime, cream together the eggs, vanilla, white & brown sugars in a medium sized mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Once whipped together, fold in the butter and whip again until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour half the wet mix in and start folding it together. Then, add the remaining wet mix and mixed berries until combined.
Spray a standard loaf pan with cooking spray and then transfer the batter to your pan. Spread out the batter as best you can to make it even and tap the pan off the counter / table a few times to settle everything.
Bake for 45 + minutes until a toothpick or dry spaghetti noodle comes out clean. Once it's cooked, remove and set onto a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.
Over low heat, add the sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until combined and let cook over low for a few minutes until thickened up. Whisk in the crushed grapefruit and continue to stir for a minute or so until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat.
Transfer your loaf to your serving plate and pour over your glaze. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving up with whipped cream and fresh berries. ENJOY!
Remaining loaf can be wrapped and refrigerated for a few days.

Notes

These are the websites I used for inspiration on the loaf. 1. https://easyrecipesfromhome.com/ 2. allrecipes.com
Originally, I had sliced grapefruit on the loaf but they scorched in the oven. I ended up plucking them off and making an emergency glaze with regular sugar as I had no icing sugar. I used this idea from google when I asked "can I make a glaze without icing sugar?) and it saved my loaf!
Alternately, if you have a good icing sugar glaze recipe, go with that but make sure to include the smashed freeze-dried grapefruit. it brought a welcome tang / sourness to the sweet loaf.
