Overview

A family favourite in summer when plums are plentiful, this works equally well with canned plums. Blood plums, canned or fresh are especially good in this recipe.


Ingredients


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC and grease and flour a 26cm x 17cm baking tin.
  2. Beat Nuttelex, castor sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs one at time, and keep beating as they are added.
  3. Combine flour and baking powder and sift over mixture then stir until all mixed in and smooth. Scoop mixture into your prepared tin and pat down so top is level.
  4. Arrange plum pieces on top of cake mixture, if canned drizzle a small amount of plum juice over each plum and add a sprinkle of demerara sugar around each plum.
  5. Bake for 50 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a knife or skewer.
  6. Let rest in tin for 20 minutes before attempting to turn out. Then dust with Icing sugar and a sprinkling of demerara sugar.
  7. Make sure cake is cooled thoroughly before slicing. Serve with double cream or dollop of soy yoghurt.
