2 tablespoons dark rum
1 pinch salt
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

3. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix well.
4. In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while stirring gently.
6. Fold in the diced apples and grapes.
7. Add the rum and gently mix to distribute the flavors.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Notes
Soaking the grapes in rum for 10 minutes enhances the flavor.
You can replace rum with orange juice for an alcohol-free version.
This cake tastes even better the next day as the fruit flavors develop.
Serve warm with coffee or tea.
