raisin pie and mash, with wholemeal flour. Today's recipe is already in autumn key, I would say almost ottobrina: cake with grapes is a typical dessert of the harvest season, and in fact I strongly suggest you use wine grapes and no table to prepare it. I have used two clusters of Nero Buono (I have to thank you for reminding gave Cincinnatus Cantina), a typical grapevine area of Velletri, but that's great any black grapes and white wine (maybe one or muscat raisins).
The alternatives grape must and from the whole wheat flour
The alternative is the strawberry grapes, which will give a very special sweet taste. I used this sweet little 00 flour mixed to a two type flour, a Mallorca. But if you prefer you can use without any problem a normal flour 00, type 0, type 1 (pure or mixed) if you want a light and fluffy cake. Finally, since we are in harvest time, I designed this as a sweet grapes anthem and I also used the cooked must to glaze the cake.
What is cooked must?
What is cooked must? Is’ the grape musts which is made to boil, for hours, until reduced by becoming a sort of icing: in Sardinia and Puglia is called sapa and is widely used throughout South Italy in the preparation of extraordinary desserts like cartellate, pie adventures or mustazzoli. If you do not find the must, you can go to the vegetable passes grapes and then reduce it on the fire, so getting your thick must, sweet and shiny. I glazed with the cooked must still hot cake and became tasty, dark and bright. And I've also put 2-3 tablespoons dough, thus reducing the total amount of sugar. Is, since we are in the time of harvest and grape, also try the recipe Focaccia SWEET GRAPE or that of MUSTARD GRAPE OF SICILY. Have a good day.
