Our grapes vines are mixed with both red & white, sweet & dry. I use the sweet red to make this cake & it is gorgeous. Its originally from the Italian vineyard area's of believe it or not, Italy :-)
My mum gave me this recipe, its one she procured years ago on her travels there, when not many people had travelled to destinations outside England ooh many moons ago. I fell in love with this cake the first time she made it & it has been my all time fave ever since along with the rest of the family. So this is my mums recipe, made now from my own vineyard & it brings me lovely memories every time I make it. My husband never had it till we moved here as it was always my mums special cake but with our vineyard I had to make it, it's now his favourite too along with the Yabulka!
I hope you enjoy this recipe, if you like grapes then I guarantee you will adore this cake, it's really moist!
12oz black grapes
Heaped tsp baking powder
7oz Margarine
7oz Caster sugar
4 Eggs
12oz SR Flour
First you need to de seed the grapes, unless you have bought seedless of course!
Cream together sugar & fat.
Add 1 egg at a time with 2oz of the flour till its all mixed in.
add baking powder then grapes mix well to a stiff mixture
Pour into the greased tin & bake for 40 - 45 minuets at 180c or 160c fan
If not ready check it every 4 mins till it is cooked
serve this cold on its own or with cream or mascarpone cheese, Enjoy!
At the moment with no proper kitchen or storage space all I have available are these round tins but if you have a square cake tin this is best as you can cut the cake into squares, then it goes further!!!!
