November 10-11, 2008: Grape Cake

annual lab culinary competition, I circulated the collected photos from the effect together with volunteered to collate a cookbook of everyone's entries. Since thus the recipes accept been flooding trickling in, together with i of the kickoff was i of the most surprising! Lab fellow member Bonnie has been residing overseas for many months but emailed this grape cake recipe equally a belated contest entry from afar. It'd hold out nice, I thought, to make, photograph together with part some this cake earlier finishing the cookbook. And that's what I did when nosotros had a invitee speaker on Tuesday afternoon.

The see of a plainly cake amongst whole grapes suspended inside it wasn't precisely rocking my world, even thus this was perfect afternoon tea fare. The grapes were thus soft that i someone asked me if I'd peeled them, together with the hints of lemon together with cinnamon were only heavenly. Though the recipe suggests garnishing this cake amongst icing saccharide or cream, I'd almost prefer non to - for me, its charm lies inwards its simplicity.

Grape Cake a la Bonnie's Mum

200g butter
1 loving cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 lemons, juice together with rind
2 1/2 cups self raising flour
a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups seedless grapes, sliced inwards half

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Generously grease a springform cake tin.

Cream the butter together with sugar. Mix inwards the eggs, vanilla, lemon rind together with juice inwards turn.

Sift together the flour, tabular array salt together with cinnamon. Gradually crunch it into the cake mixture. Fold through the grapes.

Pour the cake batter into the tin hand notice together with bake it for near fifteen minutes, earlier lowering the oven temperature to 180 degrees C. Continue baking until the edges of the cake start to come upwards away from the tin hand notice (this took a farther thirty minutes for me, I think).
