featured recipe!
Torta Bertolina, Italian Grape Cake.
It is a traditional cake made in the Autumn with a kind of grapes called "uva fragola", a small grape, sweet and aromatic. You can use Concord or Coronation grapes, or any variety that is seedless, sweet, juicy, and plump. There is a layer of grapes in the middle and one on top and a dusting of cane sugar before it hits the oven. The result is a fragrant, delectable, lick-your-fingers cake, perfect for dessert, and why not, breakfast!
