With a flexible spatula, scrape batter into a heavyily buttered and floured 10-c. plain or possibly decorative tube pan. Tap pan smartly on counter several times to level batter and get rid of any air pockets. Bake on center of rack of a 325 degree oven till cake begins to pull from pan sides, about 1 hour.

Run a sharp knife around edge of tube to loosen center of cake from pan. Place rack on top of pan and invert gently to release cake from pan. Invert again to return cake to pan. With a thin wooden skewer, pierce through cake at 1-inch intervals. Pour all but 1/2 c. of lemon glaze over warm cake. Let cold completely on rack, at least 6 hrs, then invert cake onto a serving plate and remove pan. Stir reserved glaze and spoon proportionately over top of cake. Serve, or possibly cover airtight and let stand till next day. Garnish with lemon slices and grapes (if you like); cut into thin slices.
