PLUM AND CUSTARD CAKE

I had a lot of plums sitting in my fridge. I had already made a plum sauce with a big batch earlier this week and decided to put these in a cake. While plums are usually combined with dried-fruits and chocolatey flavours, leading to that semi-bitter taste, I wanted to experiment with a combination of plums and custard. I made a basic cake batter, added some cinnamon powder, some custard powder and a whole lot of sliced plums. The moment I opened the oven to take a peak, my kitchen was filled with it’s intoxicating and delicious aroma! Go on and try this recipe for yourselves to experience the bliss! 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 + 1/2 cup all purpose flour (maida)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 table spoons custard powder
  • 1 cup castor sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 7-8 plums, sliced

PROCEDURE

  • Prepare a 9″ cake tin by brushing it with butter.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  • In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon powder and custard powder.
  • In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and beat well.
  • Combine both dry and wet ingredients and mix only until well combined. Do not over mix. The batter will be very thick.
  • Trasfer the batter to the cake tin. Place the plum slices on top.
  • Bake at 180C for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
