- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Instruccions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8×8″ baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla in a medium bowl to combine. Add oil; whisk to blend.
- Add egg/oil mixture to the bowl with flour and stir to combine.
- Toss about 3/4 cup of the grapes with about 1/2 tablespoon flour in a medium bowl until well coated. Gently stir grapes into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter remaining grapes over cake. Push them partially into the cake. Finish with a sprinkle of about 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional). Continue to bake until top and sides are golden brown and cake springs back when pressed, 25-30 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack. Let cool slightly in pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
