Ingredients
- 10 plums, pit removed and cut in half (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan/dish)
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 100 g plain flour
- 100 g butter, soften (+ more butter to grease the pan)
- 3 small eggs (or 2 large eggs)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Grease the cake tin or dish with butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon and light brown sugar over.
- Cut the plums in half, remove the pits, and arrange each half over the bottom of the tin so there is no gap between them.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to a blender or a food processor, and blitz everything to a smooth texture.
- Spread the batter over the plums.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the sponge is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Run a sharp knife around the edges of the tin, place a large plate over, and flip the cake so that they plums face up.
- Serve warm or cold.

Notes
- Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- The plums need to be ripe and juicy for the cake to have a lovely texture, but make sure they are not too soft, as otherwise the filling will be more jam-like. While the plums do soften while in the oven, you should still be able to see the shape of the plums.
- It might seem like there isn't enough batter to cover the whole cake, but the sponge rises so well, that when baked, the cake will have a good height, so there is no need to double up the ingredients, unless you bake it in a larger pan and use a lot more plums too.
