Grapefruit & Yogurt loaf

Since my last attempt at baking in our gas oven went dismally to say the least, I haven't exactly been too eager to face any more failed baking attempts . Instead, I'v been indulging in Graeffestrasse's  Kaffee Bar's drool worthy cakes and sweet loaves and even though I haven't tried their Grapefruit Yoghurt loaf, it inspired me all the more to bake one myself. The recipe is adapted from A Cozy Kitchen's , of which I had no choice but to adapt since they didn't use a gas oven. Never had I thought I'd be hoping for a new convection oven for my Burthday, but its seems now's a good a time as any to make that wishlist.

Grapefruit & Yogurt loaf Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all­ purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain whole­milk yogurt
1 cups white granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated grapefruit zest (1 grapefruit)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice (1­-2 grapefruits)
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons reserved cake syrup

Directions
1. Turn on gas oven to level 7. Grease an 20 x 12 cm loaf pan. Line the bottom with baking paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs and grapefruit zest. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about an 45 mins to an hour or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
3. Meanwhile, to a small saucepan, add grapefruit juice, sugar, a splash or two of water and the thyme. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside so the thyme can steep, about 30 minutes. Strain and set aside.
4. To make the glaze, add two tablespoons of the grapefruit/thyme syrup to a bowl. Sift in the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth.
5. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Using a skewer, pierce a few holes into the cake's top. Pour the grapefruit syrup on the cake and allow it soak in. Let the cake cool to room temperature.
6. Pour the glaze over the cake and grate Grapefruit zest
