Grapefruit Coffeecake

Grandma and grandpa had a grapefruit tree in their backyard in Florida. Ever trying new recipes and making notes upon them, I bet she couldn't wait to try this one.

2 eggs
2 cups packaged biscuit mix
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped dates


Beat eggs well. Combine biscuit mix and sugar. Add alternately with milk to eggs. Stir in nuts and dates. Spread in greased 8-inch cake pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

Grapefruit Topping:
Mix 1/3 cup melted butter with 2/3 cup brown sugar. Spread over warm cake, sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated grapefruit peel and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Pour 1/2 cup grapefruit juice over mixture and place cake under broiler until bubbly. Serve warm.
