Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Red or black seedless grapes
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in 1 cup of the grapes, saving the remaining 0.5 cup for topping.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the reserved 0.5 cup of grapes evenly over the surface of the batter.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the grapes will have sunk slightly into the cake.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish, if desired. Slice and serve!
