A quintessentially British fruit, the humble plum truly shines in this irresistible Plum Cake recipe. Made with sweet, seasonal British plums and enriched with ground almonds for a warm, nutty flavour, this simple bake is perfect for Sunday afternoon tea, summer gatherings or even a last‑minute mid‑week treat.

It’s at its very best during late summer when Victoria plums are at peak ripeness — and we’ll be baking ours with the beautiful plums grown right here on our farm.

Method

1

Combine your ground almonds, flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix together until combined.
2

In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, oil and eggs.
3

Pour your dry ingredients into the wet and stir well.
4

Pour your mixture into a lined 9 inch cake tin. Cut your plums in half and remove the stones, then arrange the halves in circles on top of the cake. Bake at 160°C for 60 minutes. Cover with foil after half an hour if the top is browning too quickly. Leave to cool and slice.
