Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with rack in center position. Generously butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan, tapping out any excess flour.
- 2 Whisk sugar and eggs together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Whisk in milk, olive oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract until blended.
- 3 Sift 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; toss in lemon zest and orange zest until evenly coated. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; stir once more. Set batter aside to allow flour to absorb liquids, about 10 minutes.
- 4 Stir 7 to 8 ounces grapes into batter until incorporated; spoon batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth top with a spatula.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle reserved grapes over top. Continue baking until top is a deep golden brown and cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 40 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- 6 Run a knife along sides of the pan to loosen cake. Release and remove sides of springform pan, leaving cake on the pan base. Cool to room temperature. Cut into thin wedges to serve.
