I'm going to try documenting some of the recipes I've tried over the past year or so, as well as the ones I try in future. Winter's coming on and I anticipate BAKING.
This is a simple and effective recipe. The polenta gives it a really nice texture, and the flavour of the cake is mild and goes excellently with coffee or tea.
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal/polenta
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp olive oil
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk (low fat is ok)
1 1/2 cups red grapes
Preheat the oven to 350F (about 180 C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round springform pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in flour mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain visible in the batter. Stir in about half of the grapes.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread into an even lay with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining grapes over the top of the cake.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
Cool cake for at least an hour before removing from pan and serving. Let cool completely before slicing if you do not intend to serve the cake while slightly warm.
