Grapes + Cake = Delicious
This yummy grape cake is adapted from a recipe in Food Network Magazine (great resource for super easy recipes). The grapes cooked in the honey come out amazing. It is best to use grapes at their peak, rather than when they are getting mushy. You want them to hold up in the boiling mixture.

Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix eggs and oil per box

- 1 1/2 tbsp candied ginger cut into small chunks

Instructions
- Bake cake per directions on box. If you have time, make cake from scratch. You can do either cake rounds or a sheet cake.
- For the grape mixture: boil the honey about 3 minutes until it is dark and thickened.
- Remove from heat. Add the ginger and grapes, stir to coat. We let this sit overnight. The grapes give up some moisture and the honey loses some of its overwhelming sticky sweetness. Your choice- serve immediately or wait it out!
- Slice cake and drizzle grapes and honey over the top, sides and on the plate. Serves 16 with 2 cake rounds.
Recipe Notes
Grape cake can be served for a light dessert in the summer. Of course, we serve it for breakfast!
