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!
2tbspjuice of choice - use whichever fruit you chose above
200gplums - 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
