This wonderful recipe was born from a baking fail, I attempted to make a banana upside down cake and it went horribly wrong! When I found myself with some leftover plums I decided to try again. I didn’t have many plums left so it was a bit of an experiment.  I thought about a crumble or some muffins but decided that the cake didn’t have to be covered with fruit because I knew the juice from the plums would be more than enough to add flavor and I was definitely right. This cake came out amazing.  It was so good and so beautiful that I’ve added it to my Thanksgiving menu.  I know it’s a bit retro, but retro rocks and this is going to make a fabulous centerpiece my dessert spread! It’s fabulous served with my Easy No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The best part of this cake is how simple it is to make.  I started with placing the fruit in a well-greased cake pan.  I used a 9″ springform pan, but any deep pan with the same type of dimensions will do.  Just be careful – if you’re not 100% sure that your springform pan has a good seal – don’t risk it.  If it leaks, it will make a huge mess of your oven!

Step by Step Instructions

Halve and de-stone the plums. Arrange the plums around the pan in a pattern. Pour the melted butter, golden syrup and sugar and pour into the pan. Prepare the cake batter then pour over the plums and sugar mixture.
