We have a friend who loves Amaretto and sometimes we try to find recipes that includes Amaretto which means most of them are desserts, not a bad thing. Yesterday, we had a friend from France over for dinner before the concert that I performed in. I have been baking again now that it is cool-weather wise. Made one of our favourites: Harvest Grape Cake.
Harvest Grape Cake
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
5 tbs. sweet butter, melted
5 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
zest of 1 orange
2 tbs. Amaretto
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups small wine grapes, stemmed and rinsed plus cup (pinot noir or cabernet)
Butter and flour a ten inch cake pan. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar to thick golden ribbons, 20 to 3 minutes. Add butter, olive oil and milk. Add flour, orange zest, Amaretto and baking powder and stir together (do not over mix). Stir in the grapes, breaking a third of them with forceful strokes, leaving most whole. Pour batter into prepared pan, place in oven and cook 40 to 50 minutes, until pierced toothpick exits clean. Cool, carefully turn out right side up. sprinkle with powdered sugar and with remaining grapes.
