We haven't posted any desserts on the site. This is a nice breakfast cake (or dessert I suppose) I made the other day and although it may not be Andrea's favourite, I had glowing reviews from my room mate... and I liked it too!
One 9 1/2" Plum Cake
8 people
10 purple plums
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup port
2 tbsp sugar
pinch of cinnamon
1 cup flour
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp room temperature butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk
Cut your plums in half and de-pit them. Heat up the port, sugar, butter and cinnamon and cook it down until it coats a spoon and pour it into a 9 1/2" pan. Place all of your plums in a pretty circle, cut edges facing the sauce, until the whole pan is covered. Now they wait.
Cake time! Preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Mix all your wet ingredients including the sugar together and mix until creamy and combined. Sift all your dry ingredients, then slowly add them to the liquid until everything is incorporated.
Pour the cake batter over the plums and stick it all in the oven and bake until a toothpick comes out clean — 1hour ish. Wait until it cools down before you serve it so the plums stick to the cake. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it a bit then turn it upside down and show the pretty or just cut pieces out and eat one slice at a time.
yum!
