    2/3 cup sugar

    1/3 cup butter, softened

    1/4 cup olive oil

    1/2 tsp vanilla

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    1 tsp baking powder

    DIRECTIONS:

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a round springform cake pan, and line the bottom with greased parchment paper.

    Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, olive oil, vanilla and lemon zest and mix together.

    In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add this mixture to the butter, sugar, eggs and oil, alternating with the wine or grape juice.

    Mix in 1 cup of the grapes. Pour the batter into the pan, and top the cake with the remaining grapes. Sprinkle some extra sugar on top if desired.

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
