Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 125 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 120 ml Muscat wine
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Lemon zest (grated)
- 200 g Red or green seedless grapes
- 10 g Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the Muscat wine. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in 150g of the grapes, reserving the remaining 50g for the top of the cake.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange the reserved grapes on top of the batter, lightly pressing them in.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy your Muscat Wine Sweet Cake with Grapes!
