Cake with strawberry grapes (American grape), inspired by the Bertolina cake, this is a reinterpretation to honor the presence, in this period, of a type of grape that I adore, the strawberry grape! This cake is perfect as a breakfast dessert or for a snack: there is no butter, replaced by a little seed oil, and there is also little sugar (80 g in total) if you want, if you prefer, sugar can be increased to 100-120 grams. I have not deprived the grapes of the seeds, which by the way are only good! If you want and with a little patience, you can remove the seeds, or prefer a type of grape without seeds. This base is also perfect for desserts with apples, plums, or with a few teaspoons of jam here and there. You can also use half 00 flour and half rice flour, for a more crumbly dessert.

Ingredients for a 22 cm cake pan

• 300 gr of strawberry grapes
• 200 ml of whole milk
• 300 grams of flour 00
• 70 grams of sugar (+ 2 tablespoons on the surface)
• 50 gr of seed oil (I peanut)
• 1 egg
• 1 sachet of baking powder (16 g)
• 1 pinch of salt

****

The first thing to do is wash and shell the strawberry grapes, then we put them on a sheet of absorbent paper to dry them (if we prefer to remove the seeds we can do it after drying them, we cut them in half and remove the seeds … hard work !)

Put the sugar (70 g) and the egg in a bowl, whisk with electric whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, add the oil and salt,

continue to mix, then incorporate the sifted flour and yeast, incorporate in 2 stages alternating the flour with the milk (200 ml).

add a part of the strawberry grapes to the mixture and stir gently with a spatula.

Pour the mixture into a greased and floured cake pan (I used a hinged one). We level.

Add the remaining strawberry grapes to the surface, dipping them a little in the mixture. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of granulated or brown sugar to the surface, which will create a crunchy and sweet crust when cooked.

We bake at 180 ° in a static oven for about 35 minutes. Always do the toothpick test to check the internal cooking of the cake.

Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
