Introduction

Adapted from Patricia Wells' recipe in "At Home in Provence", this egglass, mostly whole grain version gets a delicate texture and flavour from ground almonds and almond extract, the zest of a lemon and a bevy of fresh wine-making grapes (and their seeds). It is rich thanks to a blend of table cream, olive oil and melted butter, but not overly sweet - perfect with a glass of sherry after a meal.

Ingredients

    5 oz silken tofu, pureed
    1/3 cup sugar
    8 packets stevia (or 3 tbsp sugar)
    1/4 cup melted butter
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1/3 cup 18% (table) cream
    1/2 tsp orange extract
    1/4 tsp almond extract
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
    1/2 cup flour
    1/3 cup ground almonds
    1 tsp baking powder
    pinch sea salt
    Zest of 1 lemon
    10 oz (about 2 cups) small, fresh wine-making grapes, with seeds - washed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F, grease a 9" springform pan.
Beat the tofu, sugar, stevia, butter, oil, cream and extracts until blended (I used my food processor for the whole recipe).
Add the flours, ground almonds, baking powder, salt and zest. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Stir grapes into the batter (keep a few for the top if you'd like).
Bake 55 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan and cool completely.
