Concord Grape Cornmeal Cake

At this time of year I love to make Concord Grape Cornmeal Cake. It is so tasty. My family loves it and I know yours will too! The secret to making this cake is to add the grapes and stages. cook half of the grapes from the beginning and add the other half halfway through the cooking time.

To make this cake, start by combining flour, cornmeal and baking powder with salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla. Add oil and melted butter and whisk to combine. Incorporate the dry ingredients, followed by the buttermilk. Finally, stir in honey but try not to fully incorporate it at this stage. Transfer the batter to the baking dish and scatter half of the grapes over the top. Bake the cake in the oven, removing halfway through to scatter the remaining grapes on top. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite ice cream.
