ℹ️ Info about the recipe

I'm from Southern Brazil and many parts of this region were settled by German immigrants. Of course cooking was very much influenced by them, and one of the most famous treats made by them is a cake called Cuca.

Cuca is very similar to a crumb cake and you can make it in different flavors. But the Concord Grape Cuca has always been my favorite and this is the recipe I would like to share with you today!

This is not a traditional recipe. I have twiked a regular crumb cake so it would look like a cuca, as the first one is easier (and quicker) than the second!

Concord Grape Crumb Cake

📋 Ingredients

For this concord grape crumb cake recipe you will need:

For the batter:

  • all-purpose flour
  • sugar
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • milk
  • egg
  • vanilla extract
  • vegetable oil

For the topping:

  • concord grapes
  • all-purpose flour
  • brown sugar
  • butter

🍳 How to make it

Making a Concord Grape Crumb Cake is pretty simple. For the batter you will sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. The next step is to fold dry ingredients into egg mixture and spread batter evenly into prepared pan.

Then spread grapes on top of batter.

And finally make the crumbs by combining the flour, brown sugar, and butter and tossing with a spatula until large crumbs form. Sprinkle crumbs over grapes.

Bake for around 30 minutes, let it cool a little and enjoy!

💭 Tips and Variations

  • You can leave it at room temperature for about 24 hours after making it. For longer periods of time, place in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • I used seedless Concord grapes, but I have also used the ones with seeds and removed them. It's some work but it's worth it.
  • You can use other fruits like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, bananas, peaches.
  • Apples tend to dry out while baking.

      Easy and fast recipe to pull together. I tried with table seedless grapes and baked in a spring form pan. Delicious. Great looking. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

    Looks delicious! Going to start making this now, unfortunately I don't have parchment paper, can I just grease the pan with non stick spray or butter and flour?

    I was gifted 2 quarts of concord grapes recently and needed a way to use them. I found this recipe and, oh my, it is very easy to make and incredibly delicious. It took about 1/2 hour to prepare the grapes but it is so worth it. I baked this in a 9"x13" pan and it worked just fine.

    Oh! My! Goodness! This was so good. My neighbor gave me a huge bag of soon-to-be-too-ripe Concords that I didn't know what to do with. I couldn't snack on them because when the skin slid off, it felt like I was eating baby jellyfish. Bleh!! What a blessing to stumble across this recipe. There were enough good grapes in the bag to make a heaping 2 cups worth, so the cake was wonderfully "grapey." Seeding the grapes was a complete PITA, but the result was sooooo good. Somehow my crumb mixture was a pasty mess (maybe I accidentally put some other liquid into it?). I just kept adding flour until it made big crumbs. I wound up with a big fat crumb layer, but...hey...CRUMB Cake! I had to bake everything for more like 50 minutes (7"x11" pan). This was out of this world delicious. Better than Entenmann's! But next time, I'll try an easier fruit! HAHA!

    Thank you this awesome! I needed a way to handle lots of concord grapes and they are so tasty baked. Made it gluten free and vegan with GF flour. I just needed a tablespoon or two more milk. And vegan by substituting 1/3 cup applesauce and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar for the egg. Worked really well. I found I only needed half the crumble on top. And I think I want to add in some cinnamon next time.

    Thank you so much for this recipe! It was easy and a huge hit with my entire family. I was nervous going in since it my first time baking with grapes and it took me a long time to remove all the seeds so was really hoping it would turn out and my time wouldn’t be in vain, but I couldn’t be happier with the result! Already sat and removed seeds from more grapes as this first cake is almost all gone 🙂

    Easy to make and so addictive. I love using Concord grapes and this recipe really highlights how delicious they are. Removing the seeds is worth it.
