How to Make Grape Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold one-fourth of the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour over the batter and fold in gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Thoroughly dry 1 cup seedless green grapes (pat them dry with paper towels) and arrange them evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is lightly browned and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
- Serve with your favorite topping: powdered sugar, vanilla yogurt, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
