    black grape lemon and thyme cake with comb honey and yogurt cheese

    Uncategorized

    This cake was so wonderfully moist and delicious.
    We all really enjoyed it.
    I love black grapes they are my favourite they went really well with the lemon and thyme and I added some greek yoghurt too.

    I served it with comb honey and sweet labne (yoghurt cheese) get the recipe for the labne here

     

    Recipe
    220g 1 cup butter
    220g 1 cup caster sugar
    220g 1 and half cups plain flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    4 eggs
    zest and juice of 1 lemon
    Few sprigs of fresh thyme
    20 black grapes
    1/2 cup greek yoghurt.
    Pinch salt
    Preheat the oven to 180c 350f
    in a bowl cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time making sure each one is properly combined before adding the next, then add the lemon juice and zest and pick the leaves off two sprigs of thyme and add that.
    sift in the flour and salt and fold in then add the yoghurt.
    Roll the grapes in flour and fold them through out the cake batter (this helps stop them from sinking)
    Pour into a grease bundt tin and bake for about 45 minutes

      Mmm that sounds like a terrific cake flavor! I've never used grapes in baking before, but it looks like they came out great in here 🙂

      can I use blackberry instead of grapes?

      Looks delicious. Can that be right though, plain flour, and no baking soda, baking powder or other leavening agent?
