One of Australia's greatest cooks is Maggie Beer, co-star of The Cook and The Chef, and producer of her own range of food products. For some time, I have owned one of Maggie's cookbooks, Maggie's Kitchen, and I have been eyeing up her Sultana Grape Cake ever since then.
The Sultana Grape Cake contains 3 cups of sultana (green) grapes and the zest of 4 lemons, which combine to produce a fresh, fruity cake. Maggie also made this cake on The Cook and The Chef, and you can find the recipe here.
The top of the cake is supposed to have grapes on it - unfortunately, mine all resolutely sank into the cake. No matter - I still think it is quite handsome, don't you?

Wowo with fresh grapes, i have never baked aything with fresh grabpes and i agree with you even though the grapes have sunken the cake looks yumm.
Grapes are something that I have never cooked with, but this cake sounds wonderful. It looks beautiful both in your photo and Maggie's with the grapes on top.
I have never made a grape cake before - this looks so moist and delicious!
I've never baked with grapes, but this sounds good!
Gaye, I don't think that the grapes can stay on top after only 15 minutes of baking. I think that she may added some just before it was baked. With or without grapes on the top it sounds delicious and you just reminded me that during the summer I made some muffins with grapes, which I never posted.
I love green grapes! I'm definitely trying this recipe. Your cake turned out very good! By the way, I've awarded you a "Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award!" Congrats!
How interesting using fresh grapes! I agree with Happy Cook - still looks very appetising despite the grapes sinking!
Sultanas/grapes are one of life's pleasures as far as I'm concerned. I like Maggie's recipes but I haven't seen this one before.
I thought at first that it would look like a fruit cake but it looks more butter cake than fruit cake! :)
mmm have had cakes with grapes and they are lovely - this ones looks lovely even if the grapes aren't on top
