Open-Face Plum Cake Recipe

Open-Face Plum Cake Recipe

Open Black Plum Cake Recipe

I made this cake for my in-laws and couldn’t post it due to my blog break, now what better than to post a cake before Easter and the fact that this cake is so simple; makes it more appealing.  I always like plum and decide to bake something with it this time.   After little search I end up at Martha Stewart recipe, a very simple recipe.  I have halved her recipe and made one cake.

I liked this cake texture, it was just so perfect, plum juice flowing all over the cake making it look so pretty and it goes without saying everyone liked it.  So if you are looking for some easy and quick tea time cake with fruit then this is for you.  Before moving over to recipe…wishing everyone Happy Easter and long weekend.

5. Pour batter in prepared pan and arrange plums with cut side up, over batter.  Sprinkle remaining sugar, cinnamon powder over plums, dot with butter. 
~ I also inserted small pieces of plum inside pan, that’s why you can see red plum juice in cake.

6.  Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.  Mine took 40 minutes to bake.  Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack and cut in desire shape.

Note:

1. Refrigerate and you can keep the cake for 1 day, more than that plum might get spoil or sour.
2. Try not to use very sour plums, it will spoil cake taste.
