Easy Plum Cake Recipe – Step by Step Guide: A super delicious cake, which is a great way of using plums when in-season. A buttery sponge cake is topped with plums, cinnamon, and sugar, before being baked to perfection. Serve with cream or whipped cream.
Traditional Plum Cake involves a lot of work and time as we need to soak the dry fruits in alcohol prior to baking and let it mature. But this Easy Christmas Plum Cake requires no soaking, no alcohol, you don’t even need to wait for butter to come to room temperature, no creaming of butter and sugar, no need to beat eggs until fluffy yes you heard it right – does that sound interesting?
Yes this Plum Cake Recipe is one of the easiest that you can try. You just need to boil the dry fruits along with spices in water for few minutes and it is ready. The only time it takes is for it to cool down and the baking time.
Christmas is the season for more cakes and bakes and kids enjoy homemade baked goodies so much that I am excited to bake more often. I baked this cake and we all loved the aroma and texture of this cake.
