Instructions
 

Make the Green Grape Compote

  • In a saucepan, cook green grapes, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  • Stir occasionally until the water visibly reduces.
  • Add 1-2 drops of green food colouring (optional) and mix well.
  • Transfer to a bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate.

Prepare the Sponge Cake

  • Place eggs and sugar in a bowl over a saucepan with hot water. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 40°C (104°F).
  • Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed until the batter is foamy and forms ribbons.
  • Sift in all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gently fold in with a spatula.
  • Melt butter and milk over hot water. Mix a small portion of batter into it, then combine it with the rest of the batter.
  • Pour into a greased and lined 7-inch cake pan. Bake at 170°C (350°F) for 35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Make the Whipped Cream

  • Place a bowl of whipping cream over another bowl filled with ice and chilled water.
  • Beat the cream while gradually adding powdered sugar until peaks form.
  • Divide the cream into two equal parts. Add green food coloring to one portion and mix well.

Assemble the Cake

  • Trim the brown top of the cake and slice it into three equal layers.
  • Pipe uncoloured whipped cream between layers and add green grape compote.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Spread green-coloured whipped cream over the cake and decorate with white whipped cream, fresh grapes, and mint leaves.
  • Refrigerate again for 20 minutes if the cream starts melting.
