If you’ve found yourself with too many plums at peak season, turn to this easy plum cake recipe.
You can eat this cake for breakfast. Or with a cuppa later in the day! It is delicious, fruity and not too sweet. A good dollop of yoghurt creates additional creaminess, as does a decadent vanilla icecream (if you’re serving the dish for dessert).
- Preheat the oven to 175C. Line a 22cm tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, place the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vanilla, butter, and eggs. Mix until the batter is formed. Spoon into the base of the tin.
- Top with the plums.
- For the topping, combine the flour, sugar, ginger and butter, mixing to form a soft dough. Dot it over the plums.
- Place into the centre of the oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out just clean.
- Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the tin. Enjoy with yoghurt or icecream.
