Gluten Free Plum Cake (Dairy Free)
This gluten free plum cake is based on a BBC Good Food recipe that I’ve adapted to be gluten free and dairy free. It’s very easy to make and a delicious way to use up any extra plums you may have!
Ingredients
- 140 g dairy-free margarine - or butter if not dairy free
- 140 g granulated sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- 140 g plain Free From Fairy flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder - make sure it's gluten free
- 1/4 tsp psyllium husk powder - or 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 lime - or lemon or orange - zested
- 2 tbsp juice of choice - use whichever fruit you chose above
- 200 g plums - stoned and chopped into pieces
- Light brown sugar for decorating
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees/140degrees fan oven/gas 3
- Grease a 1kg/2lb loaf tin
- Beat the margarine and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy (at least 1 minute)
- Add eggs and beat for a further minute or so (with an electric whisk - longer if by hand) - the mixture will separate, don't worry!
- Combine the flour with the baking powder and psyllium in a separate bowl
- Fold in the dry mix with the zest of the fruit you are using and 2 tbsp of the juice you are using.
- Add the plums and gently mix in
- Spoon mix into the prepared tin and bake for approx 1 hour. Check after 50 mins because your oven will cook at a different time from mine. A skewer should come out clean when it is done.
- Once the cake has cooled, decorate with a scattering of light brown sugar
