Smart Tips
-
Grape Choices: Both red and green grapes work beautifully in this cake. However, for a varied taste and color, consider using a mix of both.
-
Natural Sweetness: If you'd like to further reduce the sugar content, the natural sweetness of the grapes can allow for it. Consider reducing the sugar by a quarter.
-
Texture: For a little texture variation, you can sprinkle some granulated sugar on top before baking. It gives a nice crunchy layer on top.
-
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a dollop of fat-free yogurt or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence without the added fat.
-
Storage: This cake keeps well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. However, its moist nature means it's best enjoyed fresh.
