GRAPE CAKE
A different sort of cake. The batter is prepared and put in the pan and the grapes are distributed over top for baking. When I first saw this recipe I thought the grapes would either sink or burst and leak during the baking but they didn't! Make sure the grapes are well dried off before placing on the cake. Measure the flour carefully and be careful not to over bake or the cake can turn out to be a bit dry. A lovely and different cake to serve with tea or coffee. I found this originally in a 1974 issue of Gourmet magazine. Try serving it with a sifting of icing sugar over the top or a dollop of vanilla yogurt or lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:
- Cream together the butter and the ¼ cup sugar. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon rind and vanilla.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls at a time and continue to beat until they hold stiff peaks.
- Stir one fourth of the whites into the yolk mixture and fold in the remaining whites. Sift the sifted flour over the mixture, folding it in gently.
- Transfer the batter to a buttered 8 inch round cake pan. Sprinkle the grapes over the top of the batter.
- Bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes or until it is lightly browned and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack until barely warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings depending on how you cut it.

HARVEST GRAPE CAKE
This cake is the perfect dessert right out of the oven and just as good toasted and served for breakfast the next morning. Great, juicy (ideally, seedless) grapes of any kind will work. Concords are stunning, for example.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Make the batter: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until they lighten in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Slowly add the eggs, milk and 1/4 cup olive oil. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
- Thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform cake pan with the extra butter. Pour the batter into the pan.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil followed by 1 cup halved grapes. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then stud them into the top of cake batter, skin-side up in an even layer. Place cake in the center of the oven. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, slice the remaining grapes into medium thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the honey in a small saute pan. Bring to a light simmer over low heat. When it bubbles, about 2 to 3 minutes, add the sliced grapes and the lemon juice. Remove from the heat and pour over the cake. Serve with whipped cream.
WHITE GRAPE JUICE CAKE
I got this recipe from an older lady I used to work with some time ago. She would bring this cake to company dinners. Everyone loved it. I now make it for my family and they can't get enough of it. Doesn't last long around my home. Simplicity that leaves a memorable impression on the taste buds.
