Preparation

Step 1

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C

(350°F). Line the bottom of a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan with

parchment paper and butter.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl and using an electric mixer, cream the butter

with the sugar, oil, orange zest and the vanilla. Add the eggs,

one at a time, beating until smooth. With the mixer on low

speed, add the dry ingredients, alternating with the wine.

Using a spatula, fold half the grapes into the batter.

Scrape the batter into the pan. Arrange the remaining grapes on

top, pressing them lightly into the batter. Bake until a

toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 70

minutes.

Let cool slightly. Unmould and finish cooling on a cake rack.
