Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds (1/2 pound)
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
18 grapes, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and flour an 3-by-8-inch metal loaf pan. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined, scraping down bowl as needed. In a food processor, pulse almonds and 1/4 cup sugar until finely ground. Add flour and salt and pulse to combine. With mixer on low, beat almond mixture into butter mixture until combined. Beat in vanilla and lemon zest.
  • Transfer batter to pan and smooth top. Press grape halves into batter in rows and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour, rotating pan halfway through. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack. To serve, remove cake from pan and slice. Store cooled cake, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature, up to 3 days.

I'm really sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with this recipe. I've made it many times and it's always turned out great for me. However, I understand that everyone's taste is different, so what works for one person might not work for anothe

This cake was an absolute disaster. It was so bad that I had to throw it away. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The cake was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might try using a different type of flour next time, or maybe adding some more eggs to hold it together.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it's just the way the recipe is.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try using a different type of flour next time, or maybe adding some baking powder to make it lighter.

The cake was a little dry, but overall it was still a good recipe. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time to make it more moist.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of grape desserts, but this cake changed my mind. The grapes add a subtle sweetness and tartness that really complements the almond flavor.

This almond grape tea cake was a delightful treat! The flavors of almond and grape complemented each other perfectly, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I especially appreciated the crunchy streusel topping, which added a nice textural contrast.
