Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Sunflower oil (for greasing)
- 85 g Butter
- 175 g Light brown soft sugar
- 500 g Plums (halved and stoned)
- 85 g Butter (softened)
- 175 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 piece Eggs
- 225 g Self-raising flour
- 0.5 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 120 ml Buttermilk
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base of a 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
-
Melt 85g butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then stir in 175g light brown soft sugar. Cook for 1-2 mins until the sugar has dissolved. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and arrange the plum halves, cut-side up, over the base.
-
Beat 85g softened butter and 175g granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 tsp vanilla extract, then gradually add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
-
Fold in 225g self-raising flour and ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda, then gradually add 120ml buttermilk until you have a smooth batter. Spoon the batter over the plums and gently level the surface.
-
Bake for 50-55 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully turn out onto a serving plate. Serve warm with custard or cream, if you like.
