1. Pour the wine into a small pan. Bring to the boil, then keep simmering until reduced down to 85ml - this will take 5-10 mins. Leave to cool.
2. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Brush a 23cm springform cake tin with olive oil, tip in 1 tbsp flour, then shake all over the pan until covered. Discard any excess. Beat together the sugar and butter until creamy and well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, then stir through the zests. Stir together the cooled wine and olive oil, then pour a little into the cake mix. Stir, then fold in a third of the flour and the baking powder. Keep alternating between adding the liquid and flour until everything has been incorporated and the batter is smooth.
3. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin, then smooth the surface with the back of the spoon. Scatter the halved grapes over the top, then sprinkle over the sugar. Bake for 35-40 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Eat warm or cool. Will store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  This is a fantastic recipe altho' initially the amount of olive oil sounds off-putting but it tastes delicious with the citrus. However I've made this twice now, checked the temp of 180C each time, started with room temp ingredients: each time the baking time is about 90 minutes whereas the directions here give 30-45min. I've even put an external thermometre in the cooker to check the temperature setting is correct, and it is! In my cooker this recipe at 45 min is still a wet slop. Isn't there some typo therefore with the amount of time in this?
