Deliciously moist plum cake, perfect for picnics or lunch boxes.
Ingredients:
  • 175g Unsalted Butter, room temperature, plus extra to grease the pan
  • 215.00 gm caster sugar
  • 3 Free Range Eggs, room temperature
  • 225.00 gm self raising flour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 4 ripe plums, halved, destoned, cut into 1cm wedges
  • 17.20 gm demerara sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • Whipped cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced), then generously grease and line a 26cm x 17cm baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring a 2cm overhang on each side.
  • With electric beaters, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder together, then fold into the mixture using a large metal spoon until fully incorporated. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and level the top gently.
  • Place plum wedges decoratively on the cake batter, then generously sprinkle sugar over the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean when tested. Allow to cool in the pan before delicately dusting with icing sugar. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream before slicing and serving.
