Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more butter for pan
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of sea salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Grated zest of 1 orange
10 ounces small fresh purple grapes
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan, tapping out any excess flour. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs and sugar until thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes. Add melted butter, the olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until blended.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add lemon and orange zests, and toss to coat the zest with flour. Spoon zest mixture into batter, and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix once more. Set aside for 10 minutes, to allow the flour to absorb the liquids.
  • Stir about 3/4 of the grapes into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Place the pan in the center of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle top of the cake with remaining grapes. Bake until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 40 minutes more, for a total baking time of 55 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. After 10 minutes, run a knife along the sides of the pan. Release, and remove the side of the springform pan, leaving the cake on the pan base. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.

GRAPE CAKE



Grape Cake image

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.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients in advance: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and reduce the risk of mistakes.
  • Use fresh, ripe grapes: The quality of your grapes will greatly affect the flavor of your Bavarian cream. Choose grapes that are plump and juicy, with no signs of bruising or decay.
  • Simmer the grapes slowly: When simmering the grapes, be patient and let them cook until they are very soft and have released their juices. This will help to create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Strain the grape mixture: After simmering, strain the grape mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any skins or seeds. This will give you a smooth, creamy sauce.
  • Chill the Bavarian cream before serving: Once the Bavarian cream is made, it needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set properly.
  • Serve the Bavarian cream with fresh fruit or berries: When serving the Bavarian cream, garnish it with fresh fruit or berries for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Grape Bavarian cream is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, it's the perfect dish for any special occasion.
