GRAPE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare four 6-inch round cake pans with non-stick baking spray and parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer add in the cake mix, jello powder, and salt and quick it a quick whisk to break up any clumps.
• Add in all the remaining wet ingredients and mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
• Divide batter between the cake pans and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
• Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes and then invert on a cooling rack to fully cool.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the butter and shortening on high speed until light and fluffy. Approximately 5-10 minutes.
• Add the icing sugar, salt, grape jam, and almond extract and mix on low until combined.
• Turn the mixer up to high and let mix for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl when necessary.
• Level each cooled cake layer with the cake leveler.
• Place one leveled layer of grape cake on a cake board, plate, and/or cake turntable. With a pastry brush, brush on a little bit of the Black Fly Vodka Sour Grape or grape juice if desired. Top with approximately 1 cup of buttercream and 2 tablespoons of grape jam.
• Repeat with the remaining layers and apply a thin coat of buttercream all over the cake. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Cover the cake with another layer of buttercream and smooth the sides with a cake smoother.
• Decorate the cake as you please. I used my Ateco cake comb to create a rustic texture wave-like design on the outside of the cake and left the top edge raw. Using black grapes, I topped the cake with a half border of them. Enjoy!
