Wine Country Cake with Roasted Grapes

Use a fruity white wine to make this easy dessert. It needs no frosting--just a little sugar on top.

Servings: 20 servings

Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins

Ingredients

3-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1-2/3 cups packed brown sugar
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
3 cups small red seedless grapes, stemmed, rinsed, and

patted dry
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F . Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, mace, and salt; set aside.

Alternately add flour mixture and wine to butter mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
