Indulgent grape cake with olive oil, citrus zest, and fresh grapes pairs perfectly with Vin Santo or dessert wine.
Ingredients:
  • 0.66666668653488 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.33333334326744 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 10 ounces small purple grapes
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Be lavish as you spread butter and dust flour over a 9-inch springform pan, shaking off any extra flour.
  • In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip sugar and eggs until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Mix in milk, olive oil, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, gently sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the lemon zest and orange zest, then toss until evenly coated in the flour.
  • Combine the flour mixture with wet ingredients, stirring until well blended with a wooden spoon. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes for the flour to absorb the liquids.
  • Gently fold in 7 to 8 ounces of grapes into the batter until well combined. Transfer the batter to the cake pan and level the surface with a spatula. Reserve the rest of the grapes for later.
  • Bake the cake in the center of the preheated oven for 15 minutes then sprinkle the reserved grapes over the top.
  • Bake for an additional 40 minutes until the top turns a deep golden brown and the cake feels firm when pressed with a fingertip.
  • After baking, allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Gently loosen the cake by running a knife along the sides of the pan. Remove the springform pan's side, leaving the cake on the base, and let it cool to room temperature before slicing into thin wedges to serve.
