SOUR CREAM AND GRAPE STRUDEL CAKE

Preheat your oven to 180 deg C.
A TIP ...
Grapes are used in this recipe and produce a moist texture in the cake , so take care not to overcook the cake .The size of the grapes available in our supermarkets are large so I suggest that you quarter the grapes to prevent them from sinking to the base of the cake ...
I used a 20cm round cake tin for this recipe .
So let`s get started .......
Combine 1 tbs of plain flour , 1/3 rd of a cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon in a bowl and rub in 30 gm of butter / margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs .....set aside as this is your topping for the cake .

In a separate bowl , cream 125 gm of butter / margarine , 1/2 cup of castor sugar , 1 tsp of vanilla extract  until light and fluffy , then gradually beat in 2 eggs ( lightly beaten and at room temp ).

You need to mix together 1 and 1/2 cups of plain flour with 2 tsp of baking powder , 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda and 1/4 tsp of salt .
Stir the flours into the egg and butter mix along with 1 cup of sour cream .

Spoon the mixture into a well greased cake pan .
Now cut 1 cup of red or white seedless grapes into quarters and sprinkle with a little extra flour , and spoon over the top of the cake mixture .



Sprinkle topping over the grapes and using a knife swirl the grapes and topping through the cake batter .


Place in a well preheated oven and cook for 55 minutes or until the cake is cooked through .
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to sit in the pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack before turning out onto the wire rack to completely cool .
