Ingredients
- 5 Eggs
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Almond flour
- 3/4 cup Butter (softened)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Potato starch
- 1 pod Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 pinches Salt
- 1 cup Grapes washed and dried
- as needed Powdered sugar
Preparation
Start by whipping the egg whites with 55 g of sugar until you get a white and firm mixture. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the remaining sugar. Add the egg yolks, grated ginger, and vanilla seeds. Sift together the flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt, and add them to the batter, alternating with the whipped egg whites. Mix gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
Fold in the almond flour and the grapes, which you have lightly coated in flour (to prevent them from sinking in the batter). Mix well.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan (Ø 9.5 inches), leveling the surface. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, until the cake is golden and cooked through (do the toothpick test).
Remove from the oven, let it cool, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy your grape bundt cake!
