    List of Ingredients




    2 lb. Concord grapes
    3/4 c. sugar
    2 c. flour
    2 tsp. baking powder
    3/4 tsp. salt
    1 1/3 c. sugar
    1/2 c. shortening
    2 eggs
    1 c. milk
    1 tsp. vanilla

    Recipe



    Wash grapes and separate skins from pulp. Cook pulp until softened, about 5 minutes. Put through sieve to remove seeds. Add skins to pulp. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar and cook until skins are tender, about 15 minutes. There should be about 2 cups of this grape mixture.

    Sift flour with baking powder, salt and sugar into bowl. Add shortening, 1/2 cup of the milk, egg and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes at low speed on electric mixer or 300 strokes by hand. Add remaining milk and beat 30 seconds or 75 strokes.

    Pour into well greased 9 x 12 x 2-inch pans. Spread grape pulp over top of batter. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until cake tests done.


    Yields 12 servings
