INGREDIENTS
170g butter at room temperature
150g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
170g plain flour sifted
120g ground almond meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
5-6 medium size plums
1/4 cup granulated brown sugar
To Serve
Vanilla Coco Tribe yoghurt
Pistachio nuts roughly chopped
METHOD
Pre heat the oven to 170C. Line a large square (25cm x 25cm) or rectangle-baking tin.
Cream the butter and caster sugar together in a stand mixer on medium speed. Scrapping down the sides of the mixing bowl at interval’s to ensure it’s evenly mixing. Mix until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla essence. In a separate mixing bowl combine the sifted flour, almond meal, baking powder and cinnamon, stir to combine.
Fold in the dry ingredient bowl into the creamed butter mixture until it just comes together; be mindful not to over work it. The batter is a thicker batter similar to a friand cake.
Scrape out the batter into the pre prepared cake tin and level it out. Slice the plums in to wedges, place into rows slightly over lapping each other. Sprinkle the granulated brown sugar over the plums.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean, the plums will create a wetter cake as there juices come out. Allow too cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before removing from the tin.
To serve slice into squares and add a dollop of yogurt. This cake tastes great when it’s slightly still warm from the oven.
