WARM ALMOND CAKES WITH GRAPES
We like serving these chewy, moist almond cakes, which are based on the financier, a French pastry, in individual gratin dishes, but the batter can also be baked in a 9-inch glass pie plate for 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
- If using Cognac, toss grapes with it in a small bowl.
- Pulse half of almonds with 1 tablespoon sugar in a blender until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and repeat with remaining almonds and 1 more tablespoon sugar.
- Beat together butter and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and beat in ground almonds, flour, and salt until just combined.
- Divide batter among gratin dishes and press grapes lightly into batter (discard Cognac). Bake in dishes on a baking sheet until cake is firm and pale golden with slightly darker edges, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer cakes to a rack and cool slightly in dishes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter and flour the 9 inch springform cake pan, tapping out any excess flour. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Add the butter, oil, milk and vanilla extract, and mix until blended.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the lemon zest and orange zest, and toss to coat the zest with flour.
- Spoon the flour mixture into the bowl of 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 in 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 at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining grapes. Bake for about 40 minutes more, until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. 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. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.

- Wine suggestions
- Grape cake is an ideal match for _vin santo,_the rich, smooth, aromatic sweet wine prepared in small quantities on many Italian estates.
- In a purple haze
- Over time, I have identified the mystery that discourages many shoppers from buying grapes: the inevitable hazy white film. Though one might understandably assume it's due to a spray of pesticide, the film is in fact a natural substance produced by the grape. It acts as a protective covering to prevent moisture from penetrating the fruit. It also keeps the skin from cracking when the grape loses moisture. Even better, the film contains nothing toxic! You will find the same harmless film on plums.
GRAPE CAKE | EPICURIOUS
Any kind or mix of seedless grapes will work for this crowd-ready snack cake. We prefer adding Thomcord grapes, which give you all the intense juicy punch of a Concord grape without the annoying seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 13x9" pan. Lightly dust pan with flour, tapping out excess. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Bundle nuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. Spread out and let cool.
- Transfer 1 cup hazelnuts to a medium bowl (reserve remaining hazelnuts for the cake). Add brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt and mix to combine. Using a fork, mix in 6 Tbsp. melted butter until well combined; set streusel aside.
- Pulse reserved 3/4 cup hazelnuts and remaining 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a food processor until nuts are finely ground. Add lemon zest and remaining 1/2 cup room-temperature butter and pulse until combined, about 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Add vanilla and pulse just to combine.
- Whisk baking powder and remaining 2 cups flour and 3/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Pulse in half of dry ingredients to combine, then pulse in yogurt. Pulse in remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Sprinkle with three-quarters of the grapes. Top with streusel, then sprinkle with remaining grapes. Bake cake on a rimmed baking sheet until a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 50-60 minutes. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool.
GRAPE CAKE
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.

Steps:
- Cream together the butter and the ¼ cup sugar. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon rind and vanilla.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls at a time and continue to beat until they hold stiff peaks.
- Stir one fourth of the whites into the yolk mixture and fold in the remaining whites. Sift the sifted flour over the mixture, folding it in gently.
- Transfer the batter to a buttered 8 inch round cake pan. Sprinkle the grapes over the top of the batter.
- Bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes or until it is lightly browned and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack until barely warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings depending on how you cut it.
