Citrus Grape Cake

A rustic Tuscan cake - by Amy Sinclair
  • 09 Apr 2019
Citrus Grape Cake
Prep: 15 Minutes - Cook: 50 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8-10
Proudly supported by

A rustic Tuscan cake made using small grapes left over from wine making during the harvest. Try it warm with a scoop of ice cream for pud!

Ingredients

225ml dessert wine, such as Muscat de Beaumes

olive oil, for the tin

225g plain flour, plus extra for dusting

200g light muscovado sugar

100g butter, softened

3 eggs

1 orange, zested

1 lemon, zested

175ml extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp baking powder

175g grapes, halved and deseeded

4-5 tbsp demerara sugar

Method

  1. Bring the wine to the boil in a small pan, then simmer until reduced down to 85ml – this should take 5-10 mins. Leave to cool.

  2. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush a 23cm springform cake tin with olive oil, tip in some flour, then shake all over the pan until covered. Discard any excess. Beat the muscovado sugar and butter until creamy and combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the
    zests. Mix the wine and extra virgin olive oil, then stir a little into the cake mix. Fold in the baking powder and a third of the flour. Alternate
    between adding liquid and flour until everything is incorporated and the batter is smooth.

  3. Spoon the batter into the tin. Smooth the surface with the back of the spoon, then scatter the halved grapes over the top and sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 35-40 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.
