Red Grape Olive Oil Cake

This webpage showcases the “Red Grape Olive Oil Cake,” a simple yet elegant dessert inspired by the Farm to Table section of Costco Connection Magazine. It’s a perfect blend of fruity freshness and moist, olive oil-based richness, ideal for home bakers seeking something light and Mediterranean-inspired.

Preparation is beginner-friendly. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9-inch pan. Whisk the dry ingredients separately from the wet ones—olive oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, water, vinegar, and zest—then combine them into a smooth batter. Fold in most of the grapes, reserving about 10 to decorate the top for a visually appealing touch. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick test confirms it’s done, cool, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. The result? Eight generous slices of cake that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Its no-fuss presentation, focusing purely on the recipe without unnecessary fluff. It’s a great resource for anyone experimenting with olive oil in desserts, offering a healthier alternative to butter-based cakes while highlighting seasonal red grapes.
