Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 20 oz canned plums, drained, halved, stones removed and juice reserved
  • 4 None large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/3 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 inch cake pan. Melt 2 tbsp butter and 3/4 cup sugar in a heavy-based saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has turned a deep caramel brown. Pour mixture into the cake pan. Place the plums in the pan, skin side down.
  2. Beat together the remaining butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs. Fold in flour, almonds, baking powder and milk. Spoon mixture over the plums; bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is well risen and firm to the touch.
  3. Leave to cool in pan for 20 minutes, then invert on to a plate. Serve warm or cold with Greek yogurt, if desired.
