For a richer flavor, brown the butter before melting it. Be sure to let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular cake pan, but be sure to line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Feel free to experiment with other types of grapes, such as red or green seedless grapes. Just make sure they are small enough to be easily incorporated into the batter.
A dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance to the finished cake.
