Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Rub a 9-inch/23-cm springform pan with olive oil and line the bottom with a parchment paper.

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick, pale and ribbony. Mix in the olive oil, lemon juice and zest and the orange zest. Add the flour and stir to combine. Beat the egg whites with the salt to soft peaks and gently fold into the batter. Fold in half the grapes. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining grapes onto the top of the cake and continue to bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake, about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack, then unmold. Brush the top generously with extra-virgin olive oil and scatter sugar over the cake.

    This cake is amazing every time. Recently, I've started omitting the grapes if I don't have them on hand, in reality they don't add much flavor to the cake, (but make it pretty :

    LOVED it. I would call it a Citrus Cake more than a Grape cake. Light and Moist. Not too tarte nor sweet. The grapes tasted like light weight raisins. Perfect size cake. Just Delicious!!
    I will make this often and serve to company. I rated 5 stars because of taste and moisture. However, even though I followed directions with adding 1/2 the grapes in later, all the grapes ended up on the bottom. But that didn't bother me. Next time, I'll wait a few more minutes to add. And if they stay on the top layer like the picture and on TV I'll call it a grape cake. If they sink, I'll call it a citrus cake. No matter, everyone will love it.
